Bel-Furniture

Typical day is going in clocking in putting yourself on the up board and then sitting or drinking coffee for an hour until bel opens. The associates by the door great the one or two customers every couple of hours and then let them walk around without assisting them. They stand by the door and greet two if not more customers and the ones that purchase pay more attention to and let the rest walk out. Management doesn’t do anything and pretty much lets them take all the customers they want while they stay in the office half the time. You sit a table and post every hour on the hour of merchandise on FB marketplace. There is only so much you can post. The hardest part of the job is not falling asleep from how slow it actually is. There are always inventory issues and petty arguments between sellers and cashiers.Customers being stolen by other sales people is a given. Most of the associates don’t care about the customer after they purchase. The building is old has a lot of broken ceiling tiles and leaks. In order for you to work there you must PROVIDE YOUR OWN TABLET! They will NOT provide one for you. Over all it’s a Job that is not suitable for someone use to fast pace work. The only thing I enjoyed about the job was going home after.

Bad
-First thing in the morning after clocking in, situate paperwork from day before, then deal with an extremely high volume of complaints. Through out the entire day in between task you'll be situating customers issues with "corporate"  (terrible attitudes and phone etiquette). Dealing with them and the occasional is probably one of the worst parts of the job in the beginning, but you eventually get use to it. 
-The second bad thing about working here is that there is no real training structure, and if you learn something new it's either because you asked or you made a mistake. Many times there were procedures that no one had ever told me about and then I'd end up making a mistake.
-Calculations are done manually  and when the system goes down (usually when weather is bad) everything including financing is done manually 

Good
 My manager and coworkers were the best part of the job. They were available whenever there was something I didn't know how to do, and the staff was very diverse.

My hours were pretty good and Sundays were rotated so that everyone got a chance to have a day of the weekend off

Was all in all not bad if you minded your own business which is hard to do with the full on unprofessionalism that comes from management. Many mangers from my location were the biggest contribution to staff issues due to feeling like it’s the right thing to do to talk badly about staff members in front of other staff members as well as talking bad about customers. The higher ups are not hesitant to turn a blind eye to the unprofessionalism either. Mangler gets paid double salary at this location. Meaning they get to make money on your sales every month and they also get paid for each of their sales twice. When higher ups would visit the store I would be told one thing and attempt to do so and my manager would laugh like it was a joke and say that’s not how things work here. 

I’ve had my experience at bel Furniture I can say it’s the most worst and disrespectful job I’ve ever had. I had no days off I was promised a raise and never received a raise being there for a year. Some days I couldn’t take a lunch break. I never had proper tools to use for assembling furniture. Manager staff don’t care about the workers or the store. Managers nonstop disrespect employees and customers. Somedays I would work 12-14 hours a day with no lunch. I never had help unloading and loading full 18 wheeler trucks. Always had to clean up after coworkers especially in the store. Store barely clean and organized. Furniture is cheap, always cracking and breaking during the assembled. You have to also beg for a day off so you can receive a day off or a lunch break.


My coworkers are fun to work with but the hours required to work wears on you. 50-60 hours a week leaves not much time to spend with family and though there's paid vacation, there's not enough sales associates to be able to take a vacation but the catch-22 is if there's enough sales people to cover vacations, there's not enough sales for all sales associates to make a decent living. The earning potential is good but being a commission only job causes monthly pay to fluctuate with can make budgeting money difficult. Overall one of the best jobs I've had but requires above average dedication.

I wish I could rate this place as zero stars, but it will not let me. Please stay away from this place. “Management” does not appreciate anything you do and you don’t get paid what you should especially after all the hours you put in. Literally working slave wages if you are in sales. I have nothing good to say about this company, it’s so poorly ran. I don’t understand how this company gets away with the stuff they do. Hardly get trained, management expects you to lie to customers just to make a sell, etc. You are expected to go above and beyond for this company and have no life. Traumatizing place to work. Can’t stress enough when I say to do yourself a favor and stay away!

Not even  worth the effort  I  turned down another Job at the time thinking Bel Furniture would be the better choice . I was wrong it was not worth the time and effort . No proper training the original workers slack and throw the heavier task on the newbies , The manager does not know how to even properly manage its like high school.Whatever you discuss with her seems to spread they love to gossip and talk behind your back  There is no proper HR . Beware  and if you decide to  proceed watch your back

I worked here for almost 5 years. It's not a bad place to work, but since it's family owned it's not a place to make a long term career. They do a halfway decent job of advertising and keeping customer traffic coming. They're flexible when you need days off. At Christmas you receive a bonus.

I'd recommend it if you're an older/retired sales person or if you're the one in your household bringing in a secondary income. 

The hiring process was really easy, I was hired on the spot.

Owner is very ineffective at promoting culture and only pays a feigned lip service to it. Only interested in one thing and that is profit in his pocket at the expense of every employee. Unfortunately it is a culture and background thing due to his mentality of ethnicity as where he is from and cannot change as ingrained. I strongly urge to not take this job as you will be burned as well as get burned out in a matter of time leaving you feeling frustrated and and totally used up with no personal gain of any type. 

A typical day at work would be greeting co workers while I enter the establishment. Getting to the office saying hi to my managers. Ready to check out the customers , file , customer service , financing , and multitasking. Trough out the day take payments , complaints , resolve customer service issues. At the end of the day batch out check our balances and make sure everything was correct with debit cards , credit cards , american express , discover , and master card would balance off  with an equal amount in the system and records.
