Pros

If you're looking for a meaningful sales position, this is the career for you. Pay, of course, can be great at times, and also depends on your performance. I have never seen a company that promotes quicker than this one. You can work at this company if you have a family, but if you are young and single, this company would be fantastic for you. Also, the hiring process can be harder, but this company hires phenomenal people who are great to work with.

Cons

Long hours. Say goodbye to your normal 8 hour day, and say hello to a 12 hour day. Also, a lot of people who walk in treat you like a car salesman, so half the time you are trying to convince the customer that you really do care how they sleep, instead of trying to make money off of them. Not only that, but the company disallows any negotiating with the prices, which can be very frustrating. Most people who shop for mattresses know that they should hardly ever pay the sticker price that is listed, so a lot of people walk down to the competition and buy down there. Lastly, the company is absolutely obsessed with numbers. When hired, you will understand. They want to see you sell a lot of necessities (pillows, protectors, sheets. etc) and also want to make sure you reach particular numbers during your presentation with customers. If you do so, they will promote you ridiculously quickly. However, the company seems to overlook the simple attribute when wanting to promote someone, which is if they can actually run a store and lead fellow workers.
