Pros

Team Leaders are very good at fostering a open and friendly work space, much more positive then my past Retail jobs.

Cons

$12.00 an hour while working 35+ hours is very difficult to live off of. We always seem to be under staffed, which makes it extremely difficult to problem solve and provide service to customers when It's busy. from the perspective of someone who's only been there for 3 months, I feel like we are so overwhelmed with trying to get through the day that there is no time to actually improve systems in the store or the way we work.

Pros

Cool place to work if you have no other career options, as it is retail. If they paid commission like other furniture stores this would make things a lot better.

Cons

It's retail. High school mentality as to be expected. Work your butt off for them to never promote you.
