Pros
-There are a lot of cool people who work at FurnitureDealer.Net -Some nice "quality of life benefits" when working in the office, though most of those have become irrelevant while working from home during the pandemic. -Solid response to the pandemic. FurnitureDealer.Net did a good job transitioning to a work-from-home style in 2020. Hopefully, this is something that continues.
Cons
-Little to no communication about raises/promotions. You will start at FDN being underpaid, and unless the president really really manages to take a liking to you for some abstract reason you can expect to stay underpaid for a very long time. -Poor communication between departments. -Generally poor management, especially from the leadership team. There doesn't seem to be a cohesive vision for the company going forward. -Lacking benefits package. -Extremely concerning administrative practices by the president of the company. It's obvious he doesn't want to be doing administrative things, and he doesn't seem to be very good at it either, yet he doesn't do anything to change this. -When you're in the office, the president can create a very toxic environment. He spends a lot of time yelling at different customer service people over the phone with his office door open. -Employees have been discouraged from bringing up concerns about pay and career path to the core leadership team. Especially Andy. -If Andy does not like you or does not notice the things you are doing for the company it can become nearly impossible to advance. -Sometimes uncomfortable expectations to mix your personal and professional life. It seems the people who enjoy working at FurnitureDealer.Net the most are people who are fine mixing their work and personal lives. If you're not that person, this isn't the job for you.
