Pros
*Average workers are really nice and you really get to know them in a short time. *Assembling furniture can be fun, especially when you work together. *Pay is pretty good ($9/hour starting).
Cons
*Sexist company. Managers say "everyone" is required to lift 200 pound furniture into customer's cars, but "everyone" just means men. Men who can't lift 200 pounds are let go, women who can't lift 20 pounds are given a pass. Men also rarely (if ever) get to work the register. *If you're the boss's favorite you can expect 25-30 hours a week. If you're not you'll get less than 10. And 4 hour days. *Poorly made furniture often comes with pieces that don't fit together properly/at all. A lot of the glassware comes in pieces and has to be discarded. *50 different layers of management. There are more managers, coordinators, and other fancy title people than there are general workers. And when the district people come over they like to stand around talking and laughing at how they get paid five times more than the people who have to work around them while they take up space and block you from doing your job. *Managers spend more time walking around than working, but they yell at you if you take 30 seconds to catch your breath. *The store is cheap so they have maybe 4 people (tops) in the back doing the work of 10, and every week someone disappears and the remaining workers need to pick up the slack. *Stock room is so cluttered there's barely any room to move. It's an accident waiting to happen. The store orders more merchandise than it sells and doesn't have enough workers to process it all, so stuff just accumulates. *They give you your schedule only 1 week in advance. Good luck making plans around that.
