This branch is beyond saving. Sales is clueless half the time. Customer Service is clueless the other half, leaving Operations wondering about things and the Warehouse to take the blame. There's some good people but not enough to redeem it. You can work hard and do everything in your power to do a good job with the minimal training that they provide and they will throw it in your face when it isn't right. They will promise, constantly, to show you how to do your job and never actually do it. They wonder why you're doing so many hours but not do anything to help bring those hours down. They expect every area to be able to be done by one person,  get all the little details of the Warehouse done, offload trucks, take your lunch and leave on time. Can't be done, especially with the new warehouse manager who is a "look, watch, see" type of person that won't help you in the least and if you try to explain why it can't be done all he will say is "Birmingham does it!!". They can tell you you're going to be the new warehouse manager and turn around and offer it to other people in the building, have them turn it down and still go and look outside the company for something you thought you earned and was ready to prepare a plan to show them how you would turn it around. Behind the scenes they will plan to remove you and others and pretend like we are all a happy family. The Atlanta branch seems to be the only branch worth anyone's time, all the others stay away specially the Orlando branch. And the Regional will have you believing in a future that seems great but they are lies from a very energetic snake.

This company has no loyalty about it whatsoever.  They lay people off without warning.  They hesitate to give so-called annual raises.  They switch Insurance companies without your authorization.  The job was basically an order filling factory job.  They would max out at about 20 but would want you to stay at work forever.  Often times, my co-worker and I would be sitting around with nothing to do. It had us feeling like prisoners to our pay check.  They would treat the sellers like royalty and the warehouse people like slaves.  I'm going to end this review like this.  They had us on Salary for what should've been an hourly position.  We worked ample overtime with none of the benefits of working overtime.  We were hired as warehouse workers, by the time you started working you realized that was only one of your jobs.  You are also a botanist, landscape artist, janitor, chef, butler, maid, and slave with no life outside this company.  I felt as if I was getting paid according to the weight of my buckets of sweat!  If they try to hire you , run, or at the very least use the opportunity as a stepping stone to get to a real job worthy of your work.

I worked at Real Floors for a couple of years and in that time received only cents in total raises — a clear reflection of how little employee contributions are valued. Upper management consistently prioritized meeting performance metrics over investing in or retaining the people doing the work.

The lack of appreciation was visible in many ways. For example, our branch’s “holiday celebration” consisted of a modest pizza party, while other branches received large, well-organized events. The message was clear: not all employees were valued equally.

When a new branch manager was brought in, the work environment deteriorated further. His leadership style was controlling and dismissive of employee well-being. Most notably, he terminated an employee just one day after that person had given notice of upcoming paternity leave — a decision that not only appeared ethically questionable but also sent a chilling message to the rest of the staff.

Within a short time, two additional employees resigned due to poor management and insultingly low pay increases. This level of turnover should have been a wake-up call, but leadership seemed uninterested in addressing the root causes.

In short, while the role itself had potential, the combination of stagnant wages, poor leadership, and a lack of genuine respect for employees made Real Floors a workplace I cannot recommend.

What is the best part of working at the company?
End of shift was usually the best part of working there.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of leadership, favoritism and nepotism. Lack of direction and training. Employees doing all the work while team leads and GM would walk around doing nothing and going home early.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Environment is very toxic. Leadership doesn’t communicate effectively, there’s no knowledge of direction. Once something fails leadership takes no responsibility for the inaction. As long as there is a subordinate to blame the leadership will run with that.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on which area you were assigned to on day one you work that area and that area only. There are issues most days either due to miscommunication or a system error. The office is running around to correct issues but never own up to their responsibility of said issues. There is no sense of team on the warehouse floor. Starting with a team lead that wants all work done without him lifting a finger. Constant hostility and foul language is a regular day on the job, coupled with the office trying to blame they wrong doings on the floor associates.

Flexibility is nice until those around you abuse it and it starts affecting your own work environment. They want to give people so many chances even if it directly impacts the team. They are more interested in getting the daily work done than moving the work environment in the direction that the values on their website say.

Management takes a long time to do anything. They do not intend to do anything about concerns you voice, but will say they have an open door policy. Its unfortunate that the ones who manage also do the hiring process. This encourages them to not fire people and take disciplinary actions since they will have to be the ones who look for a replacement.

Unlike others I decided to speak my mind and it got me fired. If you decided to work here do not go to management about anything as your job will be at risk.

Well at the beginning was ok but even  you start to work with them they don't give you a training,the first day they explain you that you re more than welcome to the real floors family and the nightmare starts right away.I don't even want to express how difficult was for me to deal with unprofessional personal,people gossiping at all times,it is more than normal in this company to address some internal situations right in the middle of hall and that was in the orlando branch,I would like to mention some names to make it more graphical  but does not worth it.
Conclusions:If you want to keep yourself emotionally healthy don't you ever work in this place(especially Orlando) and if you do want to work please make sure they pay you the right amount of money.

The Greenville branch was so poorly managed, I saw entire teams come and go in my time with them. They moved the plant to Spartanburg and we lost virtually all upper management during and after the move. The employees did their best to keep business moving during our peak season and deal with the move and an upcoming inventory. When management was finally hired and came to work, they laid blame on the employees that the inventory was so messed up. Ultimately, it was a lot of work and responsibility laid on a team of 4 or 5 (between two shifts) with a huge lull in management and direction. Would not work here again if they paid me double what I was making.

I liked my job at first, although we never had anyone train us. They threw me in there and I decided what to grasp from watching others. The management was terrible, tyrant-like and made you feel stupid for not knowing certain things. Fired that guy, and now the new GM is great at pacifying the heck out of you when you voice your concerns. Worked here 2 years and then I couldn't take it anymore. After all the mess, they only gave us a raise because we asked for it. They never worked out any of the kinks. Turn over rate in the warehouse was horrible. The only thing I loved were my coworkers. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
My experience wasn't the best from my first tenure to my second one very deceitful and misleading.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The people they have working under and with are sneaky and back stabbing.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not family oriented nor di they follow ther corw values at any point only to covet for those of choices 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressed and tired from the backstabbing talking behind your back and other situations

Productive and great place to work, there is no one hassling you to do your job long as u do it and whats ask of you to do everything will be great. Supervisors and the boss are the coolest ever. While I've been an employee here i have received more knowledge of carpet then i did before. Loading out carpet in the mornings can be hectic every now and then but for the most part its fun and fast. its fun to try and speak the installers language sometimes to learn other languages. I would say the hardest part of this job is nothing its not hard at all, i have fun driving the forklift and i love cutting carpet or vinyl.
