Pros

25% discount customers are generally cool If you want hours, you'll get them.

Cons

Skeleton crew, low pay, insufficient inventory system, corporate/management doesn't pay attention to you unless you screw up, inability to do your paycheck correctly, returns system is tedious, and finally.... Their new store credit card that doesn't work half the time in lookup. I seriously kept getting calls to come in 6 days/week for 3 weeks straight. I was asked to come in early, then stay until closing which was the entire time they were open. They don't discipline employees who call out excessively, or just no call/no show. The dumbest thing is how they put furniture and other things on shelves over 20 feet up, then don't give you a special lift to put it up/get it down.

Pros

Fine enough coworkers to be around

Cons

Horrendous corporate staff. Overly aggressive marketing for customers that clearly don't seem to actually care to buy anything. 90 day no question return policy means customers buy things constantly and return them even faster. Terrible inbound freight allocation, dozens of the same item are sent on each and every truck that do not sell. Overpriced, ugly, and uncomfortable furniture that sits and fits for months on end. Corporate will tear you a new one for not getting enough customers to sign up for ad bloated emails and text marketing, while also pushing a credit card with terrible benefits from a scummy bank. Will be out of business before the end of the decade.
