Pros

Fun people to work with, but has nothing to do with the company.

Cons

Happy that your Company went Public so Managers can make money? I had 90% of my workers get hurt because you won't staff to save money. Your are worked to death at every moment of the day. Management works 10 hr days but by 1:00 has stopped working and has CSS do 2 days of work in a night shift. Company believes in Lean principles but they have used a manufacturing idea; no change to work flow, within a retail environment, where there is constant change. There is complete boredom at the registers and the rest of the 3 people working in a 96,000 sq ft store have to do all the manual work. Furniture, heavy rugs, mirrors and wall hangings, not to mention 70Lb Christmas trees that show up in June. Nothing about this company is worth it.

Pros

Fine enough coworkers to be around

Cons

Horrendous corporate staff. Overly aggressive marketing for customers that clearly don't seem to actually care to buy anything. 90 day no question return policy means customers buy things constantly and return them even faster. Terrible inbound freight allocation, dozens of the same item are sent on each and every truck that do not sell. Overpriced, ugly, and uncomfortable furniture that sits and fits for months on end. Corporate will tear you a new one for not getting enough customers to sign up for ad bloated emails and text marketing, while also pushing a credit card with terrible benefits from a scummy bank. Will be out of business before the end of the decade.
