Pros

Great people, extensive training, wonderful benefits. Sales is fun and interactive, especially in the showroom (markethall and self serve is much more physically intense). I've learned so much here! Better retail experience than most. Job security = peace of mind. No barriers between upper management and coworkers - you're free to share ideas and concerns without repercussion. Great environment!

Cons

- Schedule is never consistent, and it's hard to get a weekend off - Pay is minimal if you're not at management, and annual raises are measly- I started at $10 and 3 years later, only make $11 - No commission makes it hard for coworkers to stay motivated- you'll make the same amount if you slack off than if you work your hardest - Very hard to move into management position since there is very little turnover in those positions

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
