Pros

There is nothing positive about working for this company. The positive reviews you see are all fake, posted by upper management to give the false impression that there is even a slight redeeming quality of Denver Mattress. I hope someone will read this and think twice about committing any time to this company. You are better than this place. DON'T DO IT

Cons

The job itself is terrible. Selling low quality cheap mattresses, and you are paid solely on commission. You will work unreasonable hours for little pay. The health insurance benefits are terrible. The vacation time policy with this company is a joke. The District Manager who posts passive aggressive comments in Glassdoor to anyone who dares give an honest review....... is terrible. BTW if you want to play a game, scroll down on all of the Denver Mattress reviews. All the reviews in which the District Manager tries to defend the company or gives passive aggressive comments about how the former employee didn't have the skills to make it at this company - these are the real reviews. All of the reviews that would give this hole 5 stars, and those that espouse the values of Denver Mattress - these are all fake, written by upper management. They are trying anything they can do to make themselves look appealing to find a warm body to do their grunt work for minimum wage. They will try to tell you that first year employees average $45,000. This is a lie. I can't wait for the DM to reply to this review and tell me how my personal experience with the company is somehow wrong....how my skills didn't measure up. Comical, since now I am in banking making more than double of what Denver Mattress "claims" first year employees make.....with banking holidays, REAL PTO, and great health care. I wouldn't appreciate what I have nearly as much if I never worked for Denver Mattress...so there's that. If you are thinking about working for this company, I implore you to not do it. You will be better financially working fast food or Wal Mart. If you have to take the position, keep looking for other jobs as you train. Maybe you will be able to quit by the time you get out of training. The job is demoralizing, and I would not wish it upon my worst enemy.

Denver Mattress Response
6y
Obviously you have some hard feelings regarding your time with Denver Mattress and we understand we are not the perfect company for everyone. As you stated, I will respond, but will make sure not to be passive aggressive. 1. None of these reviews are fake. These were all posted by real employees who chose to do them. You are blatantly insulting and disrespecting the numerous employees we have that have been here 10+ years and make a lot more money than a bank branch employee. 2. It must be some time (2+ years) since you worked for us as the title of District Manager has not existed since then. In short, you have no idea what it is like to work for us today. 3. The average hours worked per week are 45.5, which for a job that pays well above the national average, that is pretty reasonable. 4. Your statement that we sell low quality mattresses is blatantly incorrect. Our DMC line is the only mattress to be featured as Best Buy by the leading consumer magazine for 9 consecutive years. In addition, we carry Tempurpedic and Purple, both of which were just named JD Powers winners for top mattresses in customer satisfaction. 5. Health Insurance with 100% coverage after the deductible is great. The ability to go to any doctor you want is great. You are entitled to your opinion, but when my spouse had over $100,000 in medical expenses and we paid a $4,000 deductible, so I must disagree. 6. The first year employees average of $45,000 is actually a low number. For 2019, it was over $48,000. For any respective applicant, feel free to ask to see payroll in your local market. Markets do vary, but you can verify in your local area for the current local average. 7. We hope you find happiness in life and give up on your negativity. Please have some respect for the hundreds of people finding success with Denver Mattress.
