Pros

The concept is good. Friendly coworkers and attractive, inexpensive furniture. Nice showroom. Family owned company. Free clinic for employees. Decent benefits. Good place to either start your sales career as a 20 something, or make a little extra if you are approaching retirement and have no family obligations. I would recommend it as a stepping stone to something better.

Cons

Not the place to work if you have kids or a spouse you would like to spend time with. No weekends off ever. 40 hours scheduled but high goals mean you must put in many more hours to stand a chance of achieving. So many salespeople, that some make a little, some make next to nothing. Unrealistic expectation to sell extended warranties, etc which make it difficult to get your very small bonus, which is taxed at 40%. The lowest commission rate around, which they are not up front about, is shameful...yes, it's 4%. They will embellish that with lots of fluff and stuff, but that's the bottom line.

Pros

2020 and maybe 21,22 were good after it all went down hill (thanks to AH )

Cons

Everyone is related , friends , family etc. HR is all friends with eveyone there for you cannot be taken serious . So many talented associates leave because they are forced out due to personal preference. Turn over company wide they say is low. However the location I worked in 80 precent of people were 6 month or under ! Yikes !!! Management does not know how to keep and lead their team , instead they micro manage , make up new rules that they do not follow after a few weeks and they always seem stressed. Oh and bonus program is constantly restructured . They present it as new opportunities however it’s really for them to pay less. This company always pays very low percentage and you have to jump through hoops that are on fire to make a bonus. And I wasn’t some employee who worked 6 months and quit. I was someone making 90k yearly for several years. This is just a reality. Higher management needs traning asap. And insurance gets worse every year !
