Ashley Furniture Employer Reviews

Customer Service, working with Customer. Credit Checks, Cashier, Phone calls. Accounts pabable

This company is very goal oriented. To me they just go about it the wrong way. a very negative work environment. This job made me able to handle any situation and any type of customer while still maintaining a positive attitude and good work ethic

Ashley furniture as a whole was a fun place to work, but I did not get the development i felt I needed.

Greeting customers. How to deal with different personalities. Assist salespeople when needed to close a sale. Get alon well with co-workers. Standing and walking all day. Meeting new people.

A typical day at work started with an enthusiastic sales meeting. We learned how to better serve our customers. Management would often give pep talks to sales personnel and delivery drivers and helpers. The hardest part of the job was delivering and carrying furniture. The most enjoyable part of the job was bonuses paid for prompt work.

Ashley Furniture is franchised owned so depending on which franchise you're applying for determines whether this review applies to you. I work for the one down in Houston, Tx. The potential for money is there, but the decisions of the upper mgmt is what ultimately determines how much money you make.

I would train customer service reps, take care of customer sales with a smile, get credit approvals for buyers. I learned a lot about furniture and fabrics. Upper management was always there to give a hand to any staff member in the store. The hardest part about the job was telling customers they weren't approved for credit. The most enjoyable part – more...  about the job was the customers and of course telling them they were approved for credit. – less

i started off as a cnc router operator working on piece rate. showed my ability to work on full thottle every sec of my day. after my three month peroid they open the door for me and i made sure all the production and responbilty become knowed .

Was a wonderful company to work with.
Company file bankrupt.

Good place to work. Have an excellent training program. Best company mission statement on the company's values.

Its a good experience to have. I was only a seasonal worker, but learned a lot while I was working there

For the short time that i worked there ,every so often we would be told about loosing our jobs. A sales job like this is so off and on ,so bad that management thinks everone who through the door is buying. Even if your located in a mall where everyone stops in just to look...

Nice people but the job was boring when holding a sign on a street corner for approx 6 hours

Satisfying and rewarding once assist customer with furniture selection and gained their trust to close the sale. It was very important to me to be available for "service" after the sale. By having customer satisfaction, encouraged me to expect the customer to come back to me for future purchases.

I really liked working for ashley furniture I'd still be working there if the company didn't closed down

MUST WORK HOLIDAYS AND ALL NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS. NEVER RECEIVED A RAISE AFTER WORKING IN THE OFFICE FOR A YEAR AFTER BEING PROMISED A RAISE. ESPECIALLY AFTER I WAS GIVEN MORE HRS AND RESPONSIBILITES NEVER GIVEN MORE PAY.

I know people who work in this store and more that either quit or got fired. I worked for this organization,. They fired more people then I had ever seen. They trump up charges against people to get rid of them. They do not care about their employees AT ALL.

There is virtually no benefits package, its there but its unrealistically expensive and you get next to nothing if you have a family to cover. Compensation is strictly commission and they keep finding ways to lessen your commission to keep money in their own pockets. There is no job security whatsoever, they can let you go at any time, and your commissions – more...  are only paid on whats delivered, anything delivered after you leave they keep. They expect you to work about 100 hours every two weeks, work times are 9am to 9pm, you have you work your days off if they deem it necessary, and you don't get a flat hourly rate so those 20 hours overtime don't matter, you still get payed only on what you sell. If you're selling a lot it can be a decent paying job but this isn't a place to make a career. – less

An excellent place to work. Super values. Company pays attention to detail and gives employess excellent support
