Ashley Furniture HomeStore Employee Reviews

It a great place to work if you like to interact with people. Great place for a first time job. It's a commmission structure. Not sure how people can make a living there. Company culture is great. You get to have a great work friend like family.

Pros

Meet new people

Cons

tooo many hours.

You are a disposable person at this company, they will lie to and about you to cover their failed management.

Just started

Furniture Sales Associate (Current Employee) - Cleveland, TN - September 23, 2023

Just started working here seems like a great place to work. Hoping to earn great income and work my way up to management or maybe open my own store one day.

Deserves a zero rating.

Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Madison, WI - September 20, 2023

A typical day of work consists of showing up to work on time on the days that you are scheduled. Sober. Showered. Clean. Good attitude ready to face the day and what it curtails. I learned that this is not the case with my other co-workers; constantly late, missing scheduled days, hung over, dirty unkempt and disheveled. When they do show up for work, on average... it's around an hour or more before we can hit the road due to their morning wake and bake breakfast rituals. Then you're working with a worthless bag of doorknobs half the day until they can stop somewhere for lunch and slam down a 6 pack. This is your training. Be a part of it and accept it... or, not. I choose the latter and I'm considered an outcast. A troublemaker that's ruffling feathers with management. They turn a blind eye on sobriety and drug tests, even while it puts others in danger. The only thing they care about is the sale. After that, it's an unprofessional trickle down effect to the last ones responsible: delivery. This makes for a horrifying workplace culture from the d.c. to customer care... and everything in between, because quite honestly... all they care about is sales. After the fact, the hardest part of the job is as follows... they will put a 2 man crew on delivery when they have 15 stops or more, 75+ pieces, expecting you to be out well past 12 hours a day. Rain or shine. Snow or ice. "Recycling" the customers excrement matress and furniture returns... when you have no room on the truck to begin with because half the product is damaged or canceled... or, the item is missing. Either way you're -

Pros

Get paid every 2 weeks with incentive... sometimes.

Cons

Not able to excel and grow within.

Two years wasted, Would never recommend

Warehouse Associate/Porter (Former Employee) - Pensacola, FL - September 19, 2023

I had to manage the entire warehouse of furniture and the loading and unloading of all product in the store by myself. I also had to build and set up whole groups of furniture by myself that included a king sized bed set. I am 6 feet tall and can easily lift a good amount of weight but this JOB and I repeat DEAD END JOB caused me to have a lot of joint and muscle pain due to being the ONLY person lifting well over 100lbs with no tools other than a cart with wheels. To top it all off, They were getting record sales and couldn't pay me more even though they raised the prices constantly!! Caught them hiring new people for 3$ more than what I started at and they had to "give me a raise" so I can what.. Be even with new people even though I had been there for months.. Almost a year?? Worst mistake of my life was working here for so long and letting the management gaslight me into thinking they cared.

Horrible and frustrating experienc, worst job I ever had since my first job at 14 years old

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Cedar Park, TX - September 16, 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?Store managers and long-term employees greatly lacked integrity and sadly many were not even decent humans.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Co-workers and assistant managers would steal or try to steal sales. Customers being lied to.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Unfriendly and divisive. Anyone over 40 was treated terribly. They only wanted people under 40 yrs old around.

Don’t do it

Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Brandon, FL - September 15, 2023

This place is not someplace you want to work unless you are willing to brown nose management and kiss butt. Some get a lot of hours others get less than 40. Management plays the favorites game.

High pressure but rewarding financially and recognition was given

Store Manager (Former Employee) - Vernon Hills, IL - September 13, 2023

Expect daily store meetings and training. Stores can be fun but it depends on the store leadership. Great place to make money if you commit but outside life is very hard to have.

Pros

High pay if you use the training and are good at sales

Cons

Family takes a backseat to work. Holidays are almost always worked and long hours

Pros

Great place to work during the busy times. Not now!

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Las Vegas, NV - September 12, 2023

No words! It used to be a great place to work. Economic slow down has made it impossible. You show up for a meeting in the morning, Weekends 15 other sales associates are on the floor. You get two ups a day on the weekends if it’s busy, if not you might have to wait at least an hour. You need to give the company 39,000 of your sales but every 3 rd month it’s 59,000 to the company before you can make commission. Right now it’s very difficult to make these numbers!

Pros

Sometimes free lunches

Cons

Poor management! Only listen to themselves! Robots

The worst HR department. Disrespectful , manipulative to their employees

Framer (Former Employee) - Mesquite, TX - September 12, 2023

Don’t work here unless you like to be treated like a 4 year old. The hr department is a joke and is pushy and manipulative. The main two ladies are just cvc completely rude. The company doesn’t care to keep you. There’s a reason why they employ 40 people a week and STRUGGLE to retain them.

Pros

Nothing.

Cons

It's a hustle game

Retail Sales Associate/Supervisor (Former Employee) - Staten Island, NY - September 8, 2023

You need to have skills. You need to con the customers. You got to make the store money or you won't get money. The bosses are in professional. They will treat you nicely. The bosses are all about money at the end of the day. They will make you wing it but they will lie about their job titles if you are trying to get a high position.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Decent

RSA (Former Employee) - Layton, UT - September 7, 2023

Great co workers, but the pay structure is not the best and they don't offer good incentives for being a sales job. Overall not bad if you're looking for entry level sales
