Pros

Good benefits, good outlet commissions, and the ability to negotiate your own closes and maximize commission. Very reputable well-known mattress options to sell. Paid volunteer hours provided by the company. Very good delivery outreach in most areas.

Cons

Pay and traffic has a lot to do with the market you are in. Glass ceilings on certain types of issues, such as small parcel deliveries and warranty. Not a lot of involvement in my market from upper level management. Anything that is free through the company, the sales person has to eat. Not much insight on how to move up the company other than through management.

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.
