Ashley Furniture Homestore Reviews

Pros

Great team environment Supportive management Flexible Respectful Appreciative

Cons

Communication interference with Costumer Service and stores.

Pros

commission can be good, and current store management is flexible as possible with work life balance

Cons

commission can be bad, part of sales is the ups and downs. this leads to inconsistent pay, and base hourly is locked at minimum wage. want to earn more? sell more.

Pros

Being a small company all co-workers treat each other like family.

Cons

Being a small company it's hard to get a promotion because There's little opportunity. Also, there was a lot of work and underpaid and the leadership did not recognize your work efforts. Seemed only the Executive's team got the promotions and the raises. This includes the sons of the owner of the company.

Pros

I made a few good friends who were trapped by the same situation I was. The large brand recognition is helpful for luring talent in the door but it doesn't stay for very long. Long-term employees are poor at their jobs or have serious mental health issues. Sometimes both!

Cons

Benefits were awful (1 day of bereavement leave, even during a pandemic!! No 401k match, minimum vacation and maternity leave as required by law, no more. Health insurance was expensive and terminates on last day of employment, and if you have an HRA its not covered by COBRA plan they offer and you lose all your money). Office was hard to work in, both open floor plan and very siloed (big rooms with tons of people, but all separated by narrow hallways. No friendliness across teams, or even introductions to who you need to work with. No one knows who does what on another team and it makes cross-functional products very hard to complete. The office didn't offer any refreshments to employees besides bad coffee, but you were required to come to work every day. There was no flexibility in working situations. Employees were expected to come and keep the surrounding restaurants in business by buying breakfast/lunch because Centro Ybor (where the office is located) is also owned by the Waneks. The training was almost nonexistent, you watch a few video modules that barely pertain to you and thats it. Tools needed to do your job are hard to get access to because services cost money and they don't want to shell out more than necessary. Everything about this job was miserable and I'm glad I don't work there anymore.

Pros

We worked as a team and management was good , always got good training

Cons

Delivery team needs to be more profeesional

Pros

Easy work with a set schedule. Very easy to catch onto things in my opinion. Great employee discounts.

Cons

Most Ashley stores are franchised, so everyone has different pricing, and different store promotions. Online prices are drastically lower than in store being that everything takes long to get since COVID. I’m guessing corporate did this to keep business for Ashley in general, but it drives franchised stores into the ground. My personal store had some management issues, as well as payroll issues every other month. The owner stops by for 1-4 hours a month, otherwise has no interest in being there.
