Ashley Furniture Reviews

Pros

Amazing Benefits and a lot of good supervisors that want to improve their departments. Actual improvements you can see. Actual communication with upper management . Actual accountability for problems that are above the pay levels of others. Very easy to use and learn their Systems. if you are thinking of applying just negotiate a good hourly rate.

Cons

Didn't get a review at 90 days and never got employees to hire and supervise. You have to put in a lot of hours to do as good as I should have been doing. I wasn't willing to give everything and tough it out if I'm sick for a 12k/ year pay cut I took to come to Ashley.

Pros

The team that I work on is great! Immediate supervisor is accommodating for the most part, team meetings, and praise the good things. Good benefits. Ron and Todd are awesome in most aspects. Ron is awesome when he would come around the office at Christmas time with his Red suit jacket!! Their donations are great in times of need for big business.

Cons

You have your cliques that seem to get away with most anything, large turnover in certain departments and they do nothing about it. Their A/P team is the worst!!! As this Company is making BILLIONS, their raises/pay could reflect that! Raises do not reflect the current times. Dont reflect the current times with working from home.

Pros

The pay is ok for starting

Cons

If you are not part of someone’s group or favorite to someone then you will not get ahead despite of qualifications. Management does not follow through with promises unless it directly affects their own personal interest. The company it self is good, management however, very unprofessional. It is very difficult to move up. The atmosphere does not support growth for employees. The employees that continue to meet or exceed daily chores are often cast aside for the ones that becomes the favorite. The current management team does nothing in the benefit for individual employees. This creates low moral for current employees that would like to make a career within the company. The pay increase structure can use some attention. If a promise is made to an employee, then management should adhere to it. There is no appreciation for hard work within each department. Many of the employees that continue to perform above expectations on a daily basis are usually over looked. Management does not listen to issues of an employee until it’s too late. Professionalism within the company does not exist.

Pros

Pay is the best I've ever received

Cons

Dispatch is to decentralized to work smoothly

Pros

Theres none no good for people

Cons

Hard o n hands snd back

Pros

You don't have to walk as much because you will be operating trucks. Great checks compared to most jobs people know about. You get two stretch breaks, take advantage of it.

Cons

They will make it seem as if you're not performing fast enough. Your body will ache for like the first 3/4 months. More specifically your inner shoulders and biceps. Your feet and legs will also be sore but it doesn't last as long if you are already active. Very dusty in certain areas. I purchased a dust mask for that. The BIGGEST CON is the BANK HOURS SYSTEM. They give you 70 bank hours which equates to 7 days of labor. Bank hours is hours that one could use to take a day off. If you go over 70 bank hours within 365 days you will be terminated. There are no programs to help regain or keep your bank hours. Working in shipping is very though and requires heavy lifting and its done mostly alone because everyone is trying to keep up with the company's standards of 90%. On top of that the shifts are 10/12 hours shifts so if you miss one day that's 10/12 hours deducted from your bank hours. Your life could be on the line and it doesn't matter, if you're at your last hour and you need to be out for an emergency, its over for you unless you get a really cool supervisor that would not count it against you. How i know? I seen it.

Pros

Great Projects, Good helpful coworkers

Cons

Leadership still thinks in 20th century terms when it comes to managing knowledge workers
