When I started at Mattress Firm things were great, but over time the company slowly fell apart. From the beginning, the base compensation was an absolute joke. Your base pay is 1.5X your local minimum wage, so base pay was $10.88/hr. As a sales professional that is absolutely laughable. Even when I moved into a management role, the base pay does not change. They add the bonus opportunities, and a $500/month "leadership pay." John Eck has ran this company into the ground, and in 2022 took home an over $40 million dollar bonus while the employees got nothing. I would never recommend anyone work here. Avoid this company like the plague.

This is a very easy job. You don't need any experience in sales to enter. The base pay I super low. A dollar over minimum wage. You get commission or hourly whatever is higher. You can make a lot of money if ur lucky and are placed in a good store.

It was okay, but they’ve changed so much it isn’t worth working there.
