Pros

Flexible with schedule requests. Good sales early in the week makes for an easy-going week of work sometimes. If you work long hours you can definitely make good money. Becoming a manager quickly is directly related to how much you sell. In order to do well, you must be ruthless and willing to work hard to keep your customer and therefore have the flexibility to choose the showroom that can work best for you.

Cons

Unreliable paychecks in a commission environment. Hard to start in an assigned showroom that may not be the best spot for you (managers come to training and negotiate on sales associates). Doing skits didn't help my sales skills at all. Learning the product helped my sales skills and talking to better salespeople helped.

Pros

2020 and maybe 21,22 were good after it all went down hill (thanks to AH )

Cons

Everyone is related , friends , family etc. HR is all friends with eveyone there for you cannot be taken serious . So many talented associates leave because they are forced out due to personal preference. Turn over company wide they say is low. However the location I worked in 80 precent of people were 6 month or under ! Yikes !!! Management does not know how to keep and lead their team , instead they micro manage , make up new rules that they do not follow after a few weeks and they always seem stressed. Oh and bonus program is constantly restructured . They present it as new opportunities however it’s really for them to pay less. This company always pays very low percentage and you have to jump through hoops that are on fire to make a bonus. And I wasn’t some employee who worked 6 months and quit. I was someone making 90k yearly for several years. This is just a reality. Higher management needs traning asap. And insurance gets worse every year !
