Pros

nothing at all...its just a job with a paycheck and they treat you as a number. nothing more.

Cons

Worst retailer that I have ever worked for. Upper management doesn't care about their employees. They only care about cutting cost. Very cheap company...I had asked for them to fix the floors because there was a couple of holes where customers could potential trip and get hurt---they sent me a bag of concert to do it myself. They give us more and more work to do at the same time, they cut our hours, so the managers have to make up the difference and work sometimes 12 hours per day 6 days to 7 days a week. Not only that, we are way under paid!! They really don't care about their people, i had work for them 3 years and have earned about 3 weeks of vacation pay....they refuse to pay it to me after I left. Again, they don't care about its people. They were happy when they told the store that we have to try to hit our goal of 100% turnover rate-----100%!! that was their target because a lot of store were hitting 180% or more. They talk big about taking care of their people and in reality they don't care. If you are thinking about working here....you need to just run as fast as you can away from them. They are trying to grow as fast as they can, then sell the company. Ill be surprised it they last another 5 to 10 years. Management makes horrible decisions all the time and they just don't care about you at all. You have no life outside of work if you work here.

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.
