Pros

Coworkers are cool. That's it.

Cons

Everything about this place. Pay is insulting. Job is the equivalent of suffering. I've developed serious physical and mental health issues working here. It feels like being stuck in an abusive relationship. Higher management will act like they are there for you but despite telling them I'm depressed to come to work to their face, they basically gave me the run around and eventually said it's my fault because I chose to work here so maybe I should find a different feild. I ended up blaming myself at first, thinking well yes I chose to work here and put myself here and I make little money because I don't sell more...but I sell a lot. And no matter how much I sell its not enough. It's never enough. All they care about is the numbers. YOU are just a number to them. Everything is micro managed but rules and expectations change every 5 seconds so no matter what you are cornered and given endless tasks to do. Pay is disgusting to say the least. It's so bad I've practically gone in debt but was told how much money I will make working here when I was hired and was promised so much wealth and care. There is no room for advancement, and they will lead you on to believe you can get there. Training is by far the worst in any industry I've ever worked in. I have lost my soul here and I want to add that the amount of paper they waste here is of disgusting quantities. I've been trying to find a new job because unfortunately I can't afford to quit. I CANT WAIT to be out of this torture chamber. AVOID this place if you have any respect for yourself and your sanity. Prepare to be disappointed by empty promises. Id like to point out that I tried hard to like the job or convince myself that I did. But everything that happens here built up so much resentment that I've broken down. For every good there was overwhelming amounts of bad to overwrite it.

Pros

One nice employee I worked with and some customers I served.

Cons

This place is a joke. We had designer that was conned into working for only one sales rep. The designer barely worked for the rest of us. That sales person was retiring soon and didn't care. They had been doing this for years to get better tickets because they were an average sales person at best. They also would lie to their customers often and we would have to diffuse the calls constantly. Instead of dealing with the designer they sent two sales people one who had been selling furniture successfully since before the designer was even born to a class to brush up on how to use their in home service, what a joke. One sales person had a meeting with our manager that the designer kept putting off. It was with their head designer, our store designer and the manager. The two designers totally gaslite the sales person. Apparently, they kept saying they were jealous of the cheating sales person which was a crock and the way they were treated should have not been allowed. Well, after three years they finally fired the designer for doing exactly what that same thing. Karma finally prevailed. However, the gaslighting head designer that helped them lie took their place. How unfortunate. HR manager is another nightmare. Totally unprofessional and not qualified to do their job. Had a great manager that was more qualified than HR that was recommended. HR didn't want to hire them. After several months HR finally hired someone. They quite right away and the store still does not have a manager. Why did HR not hire the manager that was recommended and more than qualified? Was it too easy? Or do they simply not know how to do their job effectively?
