FDE truly places a high priority on its team members coaching them to best self.  Personal growth of experiencing 8 roles within the organization is 15 years has provided me with tremendous learning opportunities.  With the organizations growth from 18 stores to 29 stores over a 4-year period, this has also allowed us to help our team members grow.  Many of the regional leaders and store leaders are team members who grew through the ranks from retail sales associates or store operations specialists.  In addition, FDE not only focuses on professional growth, but also personal growth with programs supporting personal finances, health and wellness, and healthy personal relationships.  Lastly, the stores are in excellent condition.  Most furniture retailers have outdated showrooms that are not clean or organized.  FDE leads the way in store presentation.  

I absolutely love working at FDE! The management team is incredibly supportive and encourages both creativity and personal growth. Collaboration is at the heart of our culture, fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. The company invests in employee development through various training programs, empowering us to reach our full potential. What truly sets FDE apart is the positive and vibrant atmosphere, with regular celebrations that create a strong sense of camaraderie. Overall, I highly recommend FDE to anyone seeking a fulfilling and supportive workplace.

There is little to no work-life balance, especially for management. Leadership lacks accountability, and the store culture can be unhealthy and unsupportive. Many of the incentives promoted, such as float days, are misleading—they’re offered on paper but are rarely approved due to “business needs.”

The expectations and goals are often unrealistic, with constant pressure to perform regardless of staffing or available resources. Overall, the company feels more focused on profits than its employees, while hiding behind the slogan of creating an “amazing experience.” Unfortunately, that experience doesn’t always extend to the people working there.

Ashely FDE is the best retailer that I have worked for.  There is clear room for growth and advancement.  5 steps - anyone can earn a promotion.  The culture is focused on team members first with many programs and benefits that are above and beyond what is typically offered.  If you are not familiar with retail scheduling - weekends are mandatory.  You can use PTO for weekends that are not black out dates.  
I also love that the sales department is a separate department from ops and visuals which truly clears the path to succeed in driving sales without distractions.  We work hard to have a one team mentality throughout the departments.  It's great to have co-leaders with the same end result goal.  

A company that truly focuses on people with the talent and desire to find their best self journey, sometimes that doesn't involve this company.  I do learn something new each and everyday, from process to product to people.  
Management is key in setting an excellent culture and that is truly rare to find.  Culture is focused on giving excellent training and optics for each person, but always has the overwhelming dread of not hitting goals.
Hardest part is time management between immediate issues, people concerns and planning for the next block of time.
I love getting to enjoy the time with my co workers, everyone here brings something truly unique.

FDE is a great place to work with an outstanding, collaborative culture. Team members are encouraged to grow on their career path and leadership clearly establishes a path to growth through a recurring cadence of performance conversations. The leadership team does well to identify top performers encourage them to learn more and continue growing in the organization. 

This was one of the worst places I have ever worked at in my entire life and would not recommend even my worst enemy to work here. It felt like I was in high-school all over again with all the gossiping about coworkers on company time. Management was very inappropriate and seemed as if they had no experience managing a team before their current role. The pay was not worth the headache. Coworkers would also steal clients from my tablet and make appointments with them. 

Ashley FDE Northeast places a high priority on the needs of our team members coaching them to best self and offers a robust Ashley Cares Program inclusive of competitive benefits and recognition programs. Ashley FDE is dedicated to providing an inclusive & diverse workplace culture that supports the team members to excel on their career journey.
