Pros

They did offer to pay for my gas.

Cons

I didn't work at this company, but I did apply for the upholstery position. I learned later that it was not just an upholsterer position, but head of the department. What drew me in was the advertised pay. $50-$100k a year. I have over 20 years experience doing upholstery and I was a perfect fit. I called several times to get more information and finally was able to submit a resume and schedule an interview. I pointed out to the head of the hr department that I live 3 hours (yes 3 HOURS) from the business location and asked if an over the phone interview was an option. I was told that interviews are done with the owner and only done in person. I agreed and one the date of the interview I arrived to meet the owner and go over the specifics of the job and pay. (I was told that the pay is based on experience) I arrived and was told to wait for a few mins while the head of HR got ready. I asked for a tour of the facility while I waited and was shown around the tin warehouse that I can only imagine but be brutal in the summer months here in GA. Fiberglass dust is on EVERYTHING! Including the brandnew mattresses going in the rv camera. I finally meet with the head of HR expecting the owner as well and he is apparently out of the office. It's up to him for the pay rate weather I am hired. My interview lasts about 7 mins. After that I start my 3 hour drive home. This was a complete waste of time. I've been waiting 2 weeks for a call back and nothing. I've called a few times and nothing. During the interview I did learn that the pay was absolutely just bait. The previous employee doing the job was paid $18hr. DO NOT APPLY TO THIS JOB.

Pros

Work at your own pace by having control over your own business within the business. Great manager who treated me as a fellow equal rather than beneath them.

Cons

Long hours, had to perform self marketing and advertising for the most part.

Pros

Everyone that worked there was nice.

Cons

You have to supply your own tools and the pay is low. So the first few months it feels like you're paying to work there instead of getting paid. You also don't get 40 hrs each week, it averages about 36 and they don't seem to encourage overtime.
