Pros
Some of the people there are kind but there's always a thin veneer of contempt that you look at each other through when you see your coworkers more than your own family.
Cons
Coming into it, you should automatically be concerned by the interviews. They want to know things most people like me aren't even comfortable talking about to friends, let alone strangers. So you finally get through all that weirdness because hey, a month of $600 a week sounds awesome. It is. Until it stops and you still do EVERYTHING. Truck, bathrooms, repainting, assembly, answering phones, dealing with customer issues (not just yours), cleaning the entire floor... I'm not saying it's a sweatshop but when it's slow (as it usually is) you're going to be doing 13 hours of busy work and getting fussed at for 7i. 7i is when you don't meet your sales goals so you default to minimum wage hourly pay. Please understand that it WILL happen. The market is over saturated, the quality of the furniture is not always what they make it out to be, people are not into being followed around when they've asked for space and being pushed into making a decision (but your manager will make sure you do it anyway or you're not trying hard enough), port strikes can and have slowed down furniture shipments for months at a time. And you will have to call your customer and be like "hey, I know I said 2 weeks but it's actually more like 2 months now." There are not a lot of people patient enough to deal with waiting months for something they've already paid thousands for. The manager will make money off of your sales, so any shortcomings on your numbers will be met with more thinly veiled aggravation. You can tell when they want you to quit, so that's a plus I guess. When it feels so oppressive while you're there that you come home and can't sleep for dreading coming in the next morning to another 13-14 hours of busy work, horrible muzak, probably a write up, an obviously false encouragement speech, an "are you REALLY happy here?" talk, etc... Just leave. It's not worth sacrificing your sanity or self respect, and I can guarantee it will strip you of both before it's all over. When you get out, go buy yourself an ice cream and celebrate escaping the cult.
