Ashley Furniture Homestore Reviews

Cons

Not enough encouragement for employees who actually does the work

Cons

It is hard to tell which company each Ashley licensee owns. Example, the only option to post on Glassdoor for Ashley is this specific board but it isn't for my licensee in particular.

Cons

No leadership organization. No training for incoming management. But they will expect you to perform miracles. Sales personnel are expected to make #s regardless of any other circumstances and the company will definitely put the blame on the lowest rung of the totem pole. Everyone I worked with had an exit strategy and we all left as we found better, elsewhere. Oh yeah, and they will proudly speak on how they want women in mgmt., but what they really mean is they will plan trips and outings specifically attractive to men and women will be asked to complete extensive reports, presentations, and projects...It's a 'Mad Men' culture and I don't see it changing anytime soon because they don't see a problem. Typical.

Cons

Better machinery and better technology

Cons

Long hours and adjustment times

Cons

The pay is really good

Cons

have to work every weekend and holiday

Cons

I have worked for two different franchises and they both worked the same way. They seem to care more about their bottom line than their employees, which gets really disheartening. The turn over can be high because people burn out from getting yelled at constantly for upholding the company policy, only to then see the store manager pull rank and over ride company policy and throw the office staff under the bus. It wears you out quickly.

Cons

I was constantly yelled at or belittled by management, had to take care of coworkers issues and do sales by myself most days, was sexually harassed but nothing was done, had to work full days open to close (10am-10pm and longer most nights) with no breaks or lunch but still had it taken out of my paycheck, schedule was awful, screamed at in front of customers, owner of the franchise had very strong political beliefs and religious beliefs that were pushed onto the employees, worked long hours and then told I was off so they could avoid paying me over time. The pay was crap for all the work I had to do for the sales reps, the management, and my own area and raises were rarely had.

Cons

The owners are heartless, greedy morons.
