Pros

*Stylish, upmarket furniture that's generally easy to convince customers to buy (if you're a good salesperson)

Cons

*Arrogance from corporate and local management *With commute, you'll be away from home 10-12 hours per day *No chance for weekends off unless you take a vacation day *Little room for growth *Weak base salary and tiered commission structure that purports making one hungry for sales but just makes for constant stress about personal finances *Lack of support from Corporate in Denmark - franchises left to take care of most everything on their own *Local management with too many balls in air to focus on making the business thrive *Trying to be "all things to all people" and losing their focus as a company

Pros

BoConcept has an amazing furniture collection, the design of the inventory is top tier and easy to sell to customers. Meeting people from different countries. Networking.

Cons

Before joining BoConcept I was very excited to further my design experience and learn more about the Scandinavian and Danish furniture industry. When coming on board to the team I felt my excitement for staying with the company changed drastically. The management was very superficial and condescending. If you did not sell the exact way they wanted you too, they will beat you down for it. The company almost felt like a cult. Upper management will talk behind your back in other languages, pulling down new hires who they were trained and hired to help succeed. I have never had a job take such an adverse toll on my mental health until I joined BoConcept. I feel like a whole new person after getting the hell out of there. I felt more like a ROBOT then an actual salesperson. Another Con about this company is the work life. You will have none to say the least, unless you don't mind giving up your weekends and working a 9- to 10 hour shift almost everyday. Also, you will never have an opportunity to have a weekend off, EVER. The company culture is stressful and not worth the sacrifices you will have to make when joining the "team". I do not recommend this job to anyone who likes to be compensated well and also have a life outside of work.
