Pros

Lots of downtime to do other jobs if you're not a store manager.

Cons

Mattress Firm is Cannibalizing Sleep Experts and their workers have less red tape, so they'll take your deals. Management enables and pacifies as they work as a company to lower sales pay and standardize processes. The money people used to make selling mattresses is GONE. It's now becoming just a retail gig. that 60k-110k a year will be 30k to 60k and the people who tell you this isn't happening are delusional or desperately trying to keep you on as their turnover is so high now. They're also adding so much additional MATTRESS FIRM continuing training to fill up your time. None if it useful. It's literally the same thing over and over. The career progression here super sucks too. If you're smart you'll see this in 2 weeks. You also have to manage deliveries on $20 commissions. What a headache.

Pros

Make your own pay, make as much as you can(if you make the effort), continued training, growth, full benefits, low stress, relaxed environment, great support system. Diverse, No micro managing

Cons

If you're a weekend off type, this may not be for you. If you have a lot of family activities, this may not be for you. If you want instant gratification, this may not be for you. This "is" retail.

Pros

When I first started working here I was looking for something that I could get into quickly and move on in a year or so- that was almost 7 years ago. After getting involved with the company and it's owners I was met with an experience that is hard to describe. First. the owners, Chis and Christine Cook are two of the nicest people I have ever met but more importantly they respect YOU. Everything is open door policy- there is no fear to voice your opinion, either good or bad. I can't help but respond to the comment that states it is great until you are fired because it is so backwards of the company's management style. If a person is having a performance issue then the person above him is given the responsibility to do whatever is necessary to help that person succeed. I could write an essay on my positive experience with Sleep Experts but the bottom line is that it is a great place to work, it is a FUN place to work and compensation and benefits are well above average for ANY kind of business.

Cons

The hours are tough but this is my first experience in retail and that is something that I just had to get used to.
