Pros

Five words huh? NO PROS

Cons

Management is not hired or promoted based on what but rather who they know. Old timers with knowledge and skills aren't appreciated and in fact encouraged not to share their thoughts and experiences from other company's. It's a commission based system but they stack the deck against you. Example. Protection bonus is paid on what you deliver with protection. I had a seventeen thousand dollar invoice deliver the next to last day of the month. My delivered percentage on protection would have exceeded their seven percent for a 30% pay rate on all delivered protection. However they will not pay you the protection bonus until the last item delivers. The warehouse could not deliver the clients chins cabinet top because it was damaged in THEIR distribution center. Guess what. This dropped me below 4% as they still counted the other merchandise they forced on my client. NO PROTECTION BONUS on a 70k delivered month. Did I also mention most of the merchandise they did deliver was scratched or damaged? On a seventeen thousand dollar sale?! Company doesn't care. Useless CEO who spouts corporate jibberish but honestly doesn't have any idea how day to day operation is for stores. Managers who couldn't sell themselves but pretend they can train others to. Just don't. I've worked for several furniture companies and after a year and a half with this one I wouldn't recommend a job with them to my worst enemy.

Pros

Pay is somewhat decent, which helps offset some of the challenges, but it doesn’t fully make up for the growing strain on work–life balance.

Cons

Leadership tends to be distant, with limited transparency around decisions. Managers often micromanage day‑to‑day tasks, leaving little room for autonomy or creativity. Priorities shift without warning, and feedback isn’t always welcomed, which makes it hard to feel heard. The environment can feel disorganized, and long‑term planning is inconsistent at best. Work‑life balance opportunities has decreased over time, and policies that once supported a healthier balance are being scaled back or eliminated.
