Current Employee – been working at The Roomplace full-time for more than 3 years

ProsAvailability of merchandise at the DC ready to ship to customer as needed, as well as a good price point for the quality of the merchandise.

ConsConstant change in practices and policies. Over use of micromanaging and dependence on spreadsheets. Salespersons commissions are penalized for issues that are out of their control by being charged for discounting of merchandise.

Advice to Senior ManagementContinue to grow the atmosphere of the company with the development of closer teamwork between the departments of corporate, stores, management, office and distribution.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Glenwood, IL

Former Employee – worked at The Roomplace full-time for less than a year

ProsNo one fights over customers

ConsToo many steps, confusion in what commission is on specific products first 30-60 days on sharing commission with Co worker. Poor explanation.

Advice to Senior ManagementFind better methods of training and rise the commission. Yearly salary is way lower than 50000

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Chicago, IL

Former Employee – worked at The Roomplace

ProsGood commission, good sales tools, good training programs especially initial training as well as product features and benefits conducted by vendors.

ConsNo structure, too many sales associates for the amount of customers. There's no need for that large of a sales staff which is intimidating to customers.

Advice to Senior ManagementChanging the pay structure to salary plus commission, upgrade technology, and reduce the amount of management. Invest in more advertising

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
