Pros

I cannot fault the great employees at the base of this business, they are all amazing, hard working and incredible people. They keep the business running from the bottom with little recognition, respect or value.

Cons

This business was once a thriving family environment where everyone knew everybody’s names, there was laughter and respect, reward and recognition. The senior managers of every department were incredible people who valued their teams and knew the business well. Unfortunately those days are long gone, despite them advertising roles with a “family feel”. I believe this business no longer places value on the incredible staff they have, causing many long term staff to leave the business. Some new senior managers no longer take the time to get to know their teams or advocate for their needs. They are swiftly moving away from hybrid working despite employees advising this is not what they need for a work life balance and despite them claiming they still want staff to have flexibility. It is terrible to see what was once a fantastic place to work take such a terrible turn, please keep this in mind when they tell you all the benefits of working for them. It may be right for you, but for many this is simply not a long term healthy role.

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.
