Pros

The base salary is excellent, as they offer 1.5x the minimum wage, which in Seattle is already over $18. If you earn commission, and it is lower than the base, the base is the least you get paid. However, if your commission is higher, you get just that, but you come home with more money overall.

Cons

You do not get to keep both base and commission for a two-week period, only whichever is higher.

Pros

Supportive and approachable management team. Flexible scheduling that made it easier to balance work and personal responsibilities. Opportunities to transfer between locations for better career or sales opportunities. Competitive pay compared to many other retail sales positions. Relaxed, low-pressure sales environment that encouraged a consultative approach rather than aggressive selling. Positive workplace culture with managers who were willing to help employees succeed.

Cons

Delivery issues occurred frequently and required employees to be proactive in identifying and resolving problems. Communication between store associates and warehouse personnel could be inconsistent, making issue resolution more difficult. Coordinating out-of-state deliveries could be complex and time-consuming. Computer system slowdowns or outages during major holiday sales sometimes disrupted order processing and financing applications.
