Pros

Sample sales for employees. So many of my coworkers were very nice.

Cons

Poor leadership, communication. Lack of transparency. The most political work environment I've been a part of. You're either "chosen" or you're not. Every day is a different focus. The company needs new leadership and they need to ensure leaders have integrity and strong morals and know how to lead a team and know how to run a business. Workload is too much - always working at night, on weekends and constantly on email 24/7. Not a healthy environment. Executive leadership only focuses on cashing out big. Low labor model does not work, especially in stores. No labor in the stores is only setting the stores up for failure. And having no customer service in today's retail environment is not competitive. The term "culture" is always mentioned, yet they don't walk the walk or talk the talk. I can honestly say I don't know any co-worker that was happy in their role.

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.
