      Pros

      Commission is okay if you are a good sales person.

      Cons

      They do not care about the people that work for them.

      Advice to Management

      Don't be in management unless you are prepared to devote all of your time toward a company that will toss you out the window in a blink of an eye.

      I have been working at American Freight Furniture full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      I love American Freight because it has helped me realize many different potentials that i have had dormant in me.

      Cons

      its a 5% commission sales job. business is a fluctuating thing where certain times of the year are busier then others.

      Advice to Management

      it would be very useful in the vestal location if the company invested in trucks for a delivery service option. the store would benefit greatly from the ability to run its own transfers, and do its own deliveries in my opinion.

      Great work environment, flexible work hours, competitive pay, good work experience, and amazing people to work with. The company and employees are very appreciative. If you help someone, there is almost always a thank you or appreciation that follows!

      Cons

      No 401k or paid vacation until after 1 year of employment.

      Pros

      Decent pay as sales. Nothing else to say really.

      Cons

      At first it was fun but there are VP's above that are absolutely clueless that couldn't operate a toilet if their lives depended on it.

      Advice to Management

      Stay in management and do not elevate yourself. Look how many regionals have become a rotating door. You will always be blamed for the failure of your superiors who shouldn't have ever been in that area in the first place.

      Pros

      The Commission set up is amazing! If you want a good commission set this is the place for you.

      Cons

      The Hours can be a little life consuming especially during tax time. Get plenty of sleep. Normal work day is 12-13 hours.

      Advice to Management

      Always be punctual. Attention to detail and knowing your sales pitches! Customer service is the most important thing.

      Pros

      You can miss a day of work without getting in any trouble as there is no attendance policy. There is no dress code. You get bonuses twice a year. They let you bring your dogs to work. You do get some vacation days, and some paid holidays.

      Cons

      The pay is terrible. You don't get raises hardly ever. You also don't get formal reviews. You don't any more than 10 days vacation, no matter how long you have been there. Management doesn't follow through on what they say they're going to do. You don't get holidays off around Christmas if it falls on a weekend. No 401K matching. They did away with paying employee's insurance so some people have their insurance paid and others do not. There is also no sick or personal time. No chance for advancement.

      Advice to Management

      Treat your employees better.

      Don't know what to do with all this money....
