Bob's Discount Furniture Reviews

Pros

The company has great core values that align with my personal values - integrity and transparency being the most important to me. The mattresses are such excellent quality product that I can feel really good about representing and I enjoy this area the most- But really it's about the customers. A lot of foot traffic gives me a chance to get a little glimpse into the lives of all that I speak to - and to me these customers' stories are fascinating. I enjoy the people and Bobs gives me the platform in which to have a connection with them while earning a great living. The product sells itself which allows for very minimal stress on the job. When I go home, I leave my work at work.

The company has a pretty good paid time off benefit after completing a year of employment. I believe it's like a total of almost 4 weeks off which is nice.

Bob's promotes from within often so there are lots of opportunities for advancement - especially is you are available to relocate.

Advice to Management

For a sales associate position consider implementing a rotating weekend off per month (if the employee wants it) as so many other companies do. I truly believe this would give the employee a refreshed outlook and also bring in a larger quantity of qualified candidates seeking employment with the company.

Pros

no pressure, due to foot traffic can easily achieve personal goal

Pros

The store management, the culture and the great working conditions make me look forward to going to work each day.

Pros

There are no pressure on customers and no pressure from managment. It is more of challenges that makes you want be better in what you do. You dont have to lie or make it look better than what it is to the customer. Delivery time frame is quick, so you get your commissions really fast . Some cases sales associates make more than managers.

Advice to Management

Managment gets hired from outside and there are so many associates that been with business and understand floor policy and so on.

Pros

Amazing People, Great atmosphere, Beautiful stores, Fun environment, Excellent training!

Pros

Money to be made

Advice to Management

Promote from within

Pros

Very lucrative job if you happen to be blessed with a low budget or if you had a miserable LY. Everything is measured against your LY performance therefore bad LY= Decent bonus TY. Managers have zero control over results. One year you are an underperformer the next you are a super star! This will be a great job as long as you like roller coasters!

Advice to Management

By design, your growth plan use significant amounts of debt to perform deals in financial markets. This can be damaging not only to the company but also to the stake holders. Stop saddling debt, while draining the business of all its cash before selling in a couple of years or sending Bob’s into bankruptcy protection. Also, as you continue to grow watch carefully who you hire to be your leaders. There’s a huge disconnect between your leaders and your “core” values.
