Pros
I get a kick out of sales people saying they do not like hours, pay, etc etc. They knew all that when they were hired, now they are whining. This is a sales job.. You did not like the company because you had no ability to sell in the first place. I never knew an unhappy successful salesperson in 19 years working at Slumberland. All companies have their issues and Slumberland is no exception. But I would have not worked for any other furniture and I had a total of about 30 years in the business. The pay is better than any other furniture store in the area that I worked. If you sell and keep your nose clean it is a good place to work. Current manager in West Fargo, ND is a great manager and cares about his staff.
Cons
Company does not listen as well as they should to experienced people. I was told one time that they would not change a policy and the reason was, "well, we have done it this way for 20 years". They also are not quick enough in responding to inventory concerns. The company needs to be more reactive to individual markets. They have a tendency to have a good ol boy network of managers. They do not react to incompetent managers. I was bullied by one manager and it took years before they finally fired the creep.
