Select Comfort – “Money is not worth the trouble with a struggling company

Jul 26, 2008

1.0

Select Comfort Sales Professional in Strongsville, OH:   (Past Employee - 2008)

Pros

The only good thing is the money.

Cons

Management is the worst of all the companies I've worked for. You don't get just one boss, you get 2 or 3 of them on you every week. Your store manager and then a market manager. The market manager mainly just complains and calls anytime something wrong happens. Which if something is going wrong in another store 300 miles away, you are going to have to listen to it and it just brings you down. It's really slow and boring but yet they put the words "fun atmosphere" in the application process to trick you. Have never met a person that actually liked the company, talk to any store in the nation and most would tell another employee secretly that it's boring and they are just there to collect a paycheck. Working at any of the stores in Ohio will get you this guaranteed.

Advice to Senior Management

To pay attention when a sales professional tells you something. They are the front line and speak to the customers directly. Also pay attention to what your market managers are telling the sales professionals. The sales professionals should have 1 boss. When you get a bunch of people coming down on you for bad sales numbers, it's hard to get back up. If there is only 1 person like the store manager saying something to you, its a whole lot easier, but when the market manager knows, the whole state knows about it.
