      Pros

      Very light supervision during the day as long as you stay on schedule.

      Cons

      It's just you and 1 other person in a truck all day. So you better like that person or it's rough.

      They sell you a $5K bed for only a half price. They hire engineering managers from HP.

      A caste of ineffective managers that don't know what they are doing

      I worked at Sleep Number Corporation full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Great Product. Love the customers. Easy work. Great company overall with opportunity for growth if you are willing to master corporate speak. The money is great if you can sell.

      Cons

      Way too many hours. Zero Work/Life Balance. You are supposed to get 2 days off but that does not happen if your store is behind, there is a meeting, you are on the event team, etc. I received my days off probably once a month.

      Be prepare to write up your team for having a bad month. They may be stellar employees but everyone is being written up. It's demoralizing.

      Advice to Management

      Hire from within more than you do. All of the store managers that were hired from the outside while I was there could not perform. If they can't skill practice the SBN...who's training their team?
