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

Work life balance, hard work recognized, and some of the best management I've ever worked with. Bonuses if you work hard. Great workflow and everyone is always doing their best. Looking forward to a long career here. I thank God everyday for my job and coworkers.

Cons

Not much. Great place in general.
