Pros of working at Bob's Discount Furniture

Overall good environment, employees pretty much getting along nicely.

Cons of working at Bob's Discount Furniture

If you work in a showroom store the warehouse worker pretty much runs the entire place with the pay not equaling to the work. Sales associates only make 5% commissions on sales and get pretty catty towards one another.

Bob's Discount Furniture Benefits

No favorite perks, benefits to rejoice about.

Pros of working at Bob's Discount Furniture

I worked at the perryman Maryland warehouse unloading trucks when I got covid they made me miss over two weeks of work instead of regular quarantine and showing a negative test when I got back I was called “equipment” like I wasn’t a person I don’t complain about hard work but I do expect to be treated like a person! The manager stuck his hand in my face and shook it at me it was very aggressive!

Cons of working at Bob's Discount Furniture

See above! And yes I quit they didn’t know I was gone until over an hour later! No concern for the safety of their employees clearly!
