    Pros

    -Commission at 5% -Potential to make 80k+ if you DELIVER 1 million in merchandise

    Cons

    -Family owned business is usually a good thing. This particular family is out of touch with business. Does not care about the sales person, or making the job easier. It is obvious they do not make any investments back into the business, or their worker. -Draw is not a living wage -550 per week is only 13.50 per hour. If you’re okay living off poverty wages for up to 6 months while you build you business - this may be for you. -Aggressively fires folks not pacing to draw (which is only 13.50 an hour, so what they’re really saying is your 40 hours of effort whether sales made or not, is not worth 13.50 and you’re outta here. Cheap. -Company is quite literally living in the Stone Age. Everything is paper. Sales people do not have tablets or an aggressive way to check stock and quickly service a customer -Door traffic is extremely slow since clients are elderly. They do not have furniture that caters to new money, or any generation after the Boomers -Social media presence is non existent. They have a mild following on Instagram but their marketing is not creative or does not stand out. -PAPER EVERYWHERE. I have never seen a company waste so much paper in my life. Everything is handwritten. PAPER SALES ORDERS, AND their computer system dates back to 1980. -0 technology advancements -extremely vulnerable to cyber security threats. Client and employee personal information is not secure

    It's a mess

    Mar 5, 2023 - Office Specialist II 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Some nice people work here. Few, but they exist. They will throw you under the bus with grace and dignity.

    Cons

    You are expected to clean up after a lazy and entitled sales team. They will cry about doing their jobs, they do not answer their phones, they do not return those calls, they do not properly close orders, they regularly leave you holding the bag regarding retaining their sales. Of course, the sales staff then get angry with you when those customers get angry or cancel. Of course, everything is your fault, you are to be blamed by sales, management, and customers. The people responsible regarding warranty and delivery issues rarely answer the phone, or behave as if they are clueless. Resulting in an angry call back to you, of course. You have the one tool of sending an email to correct these problems, and that goes right to the ones who originally ignored them. This is also a dead end job. There is nowhere for you to go, and you are paid as much as a gas station employee. The store is closed on Easter Sunday, but you take the hit in pay - it's not a paid holiday. Or, you can use your vacation time, as a rather forced use of your compensation. Finally! Your job will change frequently. About once a week, settling more and more responsibility on your head. No raise with that - you get the same raise as everyone else every year. Which, also, the new guy gets paid from the get go, and you are stuck training them. How about that! There's no manual, no real rules, besides what management dictates as the rules that week, always adding, of course, as sales complains, and boy, can they complain. And your management will never, ever, stick up for you - you are always wrong.

    Pros

    Potential to make a lot of money

    Cons

    Associates are hypocrites and very negative and cannot stand seeing someone else's success when continually say it cannot be done, they like to come around and do nothing but complain. No respect, demeaning towards each other and management. They love to plot until they get their way. Lazy management with great potential for business that is not exploited; they seem to love to hire cheap failed management from other companies. The office lazy and expect the sales associate to do everything. Customers are tossed around like a hot potato, if the sales do not attend to them. Mostly recalcitrant older people that hate those that produce because they are made to look bad

    Pros

    Great group of guys and a pretty chill job. Most of the furniture is already assembled waiting for you just to install it.

    Cons

    Alot of the furniture is solid real wood so its heavy, but you have lift-gate and dollies.
