In the Café of each store, a larger than life statue of Bob proudly collects thousands of dollars every month. The collections are driven by our loyal and generous customers who choose to give back to their community, while enjoying free goodies in our Café.

Bob's matches 100% of your Café Collection donations and gives that directly to the non-profit. So...the more you give, the more we give! It's a win-win!

I have been working at Bob's Discount Furniture full-time
Pros
Great culture, good pay, not a typical retail job as far as hours are concerned, people all around are great to work with, training is unbelievable.
Cons
Not as much growth opportunity as they say & although the company leadership programs say they're different because we see our employees as people & not a profit, a few people are trying to make that go away.
Advice to Management
Don't lose sight of the company core values. It would be ashamed if that was lost...
Application
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Bob's Discount Furniture (Chicago, IL) in June 2017.
Interview
Easy, simple questions. More like a conversation. I met with 2 people, interviewed over the phone with 2 more people, then a phone interview with the regional manager.
