Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 2 weeks)
First had a phone interview HR person very pleasant. Was called in for interview by hiring manager at a local store one on one. We sat at a kitchen table on the floor while she interviewed me and customers were walking around. She ignored them while she talked to me. She was pleasant but explained that they did not hire store managers, but I had to work on the floor as a sales person and if I didn't make my sales goal I would be terminated. She stressed about being termed and I felt that they were looking more for sales associates even though the website said hiring managers ,which I had experience in. The stores are owned by different owners so I dont know if my experience was unique. A week later I recd a rejection letter.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Reading, PA (took 2 days)
HR interview first day included two 1:1 interviews and asked to come back the next day. I came back and waited 1/2 hr past my appointment time and then started the interview with two potential collegues. Interveiw was going well until I was asked if I was informed it was potentially a 2nd shift position. I was not and let them know I could not work 2nd shift. I never heard from them again even after multiple phone calls and an e-mail asking the status of the job.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 4 weeks)
Hiring rep was extreamly slow to respond to emails...even prior to a 1on1 interview. After the interview itself, the communication was less than professional. If I did not pass the interview process that's fine, let me know. Simply ignoring my requests to get an answer...unprofessional.
Anyone would think Ashley was a 2 bit company. It definately did not show any better than that. The 1st experience a potential employee has of any company is through the hiring process. Screw that up and you will loose any good talent you might have had.
Coming from a large amount of hiring experience myself, this experience of the hiring process with Ashley...I would not have accepted a position with them. If they can't get this pillar of the business right...the other pillars would also be questionable.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
I called the store in my area to see if they were in a position to hire. I was told there was a part-time sales position open and I was given a time for the interview. When I arrived I was interviewed by an assistant manager. His questions were fair and honest. He asked me to share with him my background in previous sales positions. He asked for specific situations as to how I dealt with indecisive customers. He asked for specific situations as to how I dealt with upset customers. He reviewed my application, asking about hobbbies and interests outside of business.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in North Brunswick, NJ (took a day)
Ashley Furniture was not as impressive as they could have been during the interview process. They did not seem very invested in their compensation plan, which transmitted a bad image to the person being interviewed. An interview process is always daunting and when a company is not interested in their own benefits, it does not make the prospective employee excited about their opportunities.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I was not impressed with the offer or the compensation. Employees are payed on a draw system and it did not appear the store was drawing much business.
