Pros

Great company, great CEO and great people that work within the business who really care about the business and want for it to succeed. The company has some amazing perks; breakfast bar, paid parental leave and WFH work model. If you have a chance to work for King, please do so the team is amazing! I wish the business only the best.

Cons

Let me start that it pains me to write this but people must be made aware of the extremely hostile work environment within the team I worked in, which caused a toxic work environment. Members in the team would be talking about each other behind their backs. Management barely communicated between each other, while talking behind the teams back. Managers not being able to manage their own workload and emails, or respond to emails when you need support or a response to an issue but happy to advise of poor performance when something was not completed. Poor training if any training was provided at all, you were mean't to know things or understand the workflow when there was no workflows!!! The most toxic work environment I have worked in, which is probably why 2 people resigned in March from a team of 5.

Pros

I have truly enjoyed my time at King Living so far. The company genuinely cares about its employees, offering competitive wages and benefits. I also love the furniture I sell—it brings something fresh and innovative to the Chicago market. I get excited to showcase our products to clients and always enjoy seeing their reactions. Our team of design consultants has been carefully selected to embody the best qualities of King. With a diverse range of skills, we create a strong team that offers expertise across various aspects of design and functionality.

Cons

The main challenge is that, since our home office is based in Australia, communication can sometimes be difficult from the U.S.

Pros

you days off are set, no rotating schedule.

Cons

Annual raises are capped at 3%. They track hours from an excel sheet, so time accuracy is poor. Lack of clear expectations and structured feedback. Poor management practices, with a lack of guidance and support from leadership. Excessive overtime with unclear prioritization and workload expectations.
