Select Comfort – “Dead weight at Select Comfort

Select Comfort Product Management in Plymouth, MN:   (Past Employee - 2006)

Pros

Located in a suburb so you don't have to commute down town.
There are a multitude of business channels which make it a good place to learn about the basics of many different types of business channel models. The company is not dependant on others for distribution as they have built their own direct, ecommerce & company owned retail stores. There is a huge opportunity for international expansion and product expansion. The employee discount is very good and you can also get some great deals on bedding during employee only sample sales. They are held about 3 to 4 times a year.

Cons

While I believe some of these individuals are now gone, in the past there was a "click" of Directors and VP's who had their favorites. If you were one of them, it was a geat place to work. You could have flexible hours, work from home, get good salary increases and be recognized for your efforts. If you were not one of the favored employees, you work long hours with no flexibility, get modest pay increases and get no recognition. For anyone today it is almost impossible to be promoted to director level without an MBA, no matter what kind of results you produce for the company.

Advice to Senior Management

Many of the company's Directors and Vice Presidents are very poor managers and there is far too much favoritism.
