Pros

Friendly management. It is a company full of good people, and they go to great lengths in the very thorough interview process to weed out the "bad". Great training. After a couple of weeks on the job, you will know more about mattresses than an employee at any other mattress store. Great product to sell. Not the least expensive mattresses, but the highest quality mattresses for the best price.

Cons

Health benefits don't start til you've been on the job 6 months. Vacation time is a joke (1 week AFTER 1 year) It is an all-commission job. (6% of sales, and bonuses during the week can get you an extra 1%) Weekdays are very slow. Typically, 60-80% of sales happen on weekends, so if you don't sell anything during the weekends, that week's check will be quite lean. They require you to shop the competition multiple times a month. So you basically are going to Mattress Firm and Original Mattress Factory quite a bit. The "ups" system, which they use to try to give sales associates equal opportunities to sell, is stressful at its worst, and subjective at its best. The company requires relocation for promotion to Assistant Manager, then again for promotion to manager. Employee has no say where the relocation is to as an assistant manager. Typically, relocation happens 12-18 months after hire.
