      I worked at Baer's Furniture (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      You are provided everything you need to be successful.

      Cons

      Not really a “con” - like everything else. You get out of the business what you put into it.

      Advice to Management

      Keep being a part of all parts of the business - it’s the only way to make certain the quality you expect is there.

      Pros

      They are family oriented, and makes you comfortable.

      Cons

      Honestly there is no room for growth. They pay, to me, sucks. Everyone gets a 3% raise at the end of the year, so If i worked harder then everyone and the next person doesn't we still get the same raise, that's not fair. The employees gossip way too much and nobody minds their own business, Making the work environment very tense at times.

      Advice to Management

      Compensate your employees more and provide them with better health coverage. If they feel that you respect and care about them they will show you the same respect & care right back.

      To get back on your feet.

      Cons

      They care about getting there job done only not about you.

      Advice to Management

      They don't care how long you work for them.you still be in the same spot like when were hired.

      Pros

      The customers are lovely, devoted, and friendly. Nice store. If you enjoy working many hours, this is for you.

      Cons

      The expectation of knowing how to operate their antiquated system as quickly as those who've been there for years. The pretension that "we're family owned for years, so we train you to keep you." They fire quickly, and for minutiae. The tremendous amount of excessive work & paperwork/trash due to carbon copies. Don't ask "why" to understand your job better, just DO it!
      Nasty talk about new hires. Mounds of unnecessary paperwork and processes, but nothing nice is ever done to boost morale. Working EVERY weekend and holiday from brunch time to past dinner time.

      Advice to Management

      Know what it means to train people to stay, and give them the opportunity to learn and grow, rather than showing them the revolving door you've created. Don't expect all information and skills to be known in a couple of weeks. Treat your employees and treat them well--they're the ones who keep the place running. One hour lunches are better. Being management because you're in a family owned business hardly makes you perfect or good at what you do.

      I have been working at Baer's Furniture full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Great furniture lines. The company does
       Have a following of customers but really can't think of anything else....low delivery costs

      Cons

      Family dynasty while a wonderful accomplishment is also their downfall. Blatant nepotism

      Favoritism ..... Feed certain sales people. lots of "we are all a family "propaganda....don't believe it... They will fire you in a heartbeat.... Managers have no real authority.... Hostile work environment...violations regarding sexism, hostility and generally inappropriate comments, aggression etc are rampant.
      Baer's does not match 401k, medical is terrible.
      I would not recommend
