Leon's Furniture Employer Reviews

My work experience at Leons has been a great learning experience,I learned how to work as a team in a busy warehouse sector.
The most interesting part of this job is how the management and its associate work as a family,with unity and love.
Its has been a great learning experience working in this company

I worked there for a summer position to pay for school as they were only hiring for summer jobs. The time I did spent there however was pleasant and satisfactory. Co-workers were fun and easy to work with and management never made it a hard time. I enjoyed the heavy lifting and time spent on the road delivering.

Decent environment but not much opportunity for career advancement.

This Brantford corporate store has ongoing ads running for salespeople, but when I went in and spoke to the store manager and the sales manager, I was told that their recruiting 'strategy' is to advertise 'job openings' on an ongoing basis even though/when they have no openings so as to collect more resumes. I don't call this a strategy, I call it misinformation – more... that is inconsiderate to the unemployed, the poor, and inconsiderate to potential employees and for all concerned an inconsiderate waste of their time. If I were truly dedicated to becoming employed at Leon's - which I was - I would watch for their ads like a hawk, waiting for the day they appeared when I could "strike while the iron was hot" and impress them with my enthusiastic zeal. Now as a result of their misinformation strategy, their ads mean nothing, reducing their employment landscape to a uniformly gray and uninteresting tableaux. They might collect more resumes this way, but most will be 'stale-dated' as no potentially enthusiastic potential employee will hold off of other opportunities to entertain the possibility that today's ghost-ad just might be the real deal. Consequently their 'strategy' will result in interviewing only the "luck of the draw," i.e., only those people who happen to be unemployed at the moment Leon's has a real opening, rather than a salesperson dedicated to working at Leon's who is willing to wait 90 or 120 days, watching for a bona-fide opportunity only to learn Brantford Leon's dupes you, crying wolf every single day, job or no job. – less

a typical day at work was unloading trucks with other warehouse associates, helping move furniture to the floor from the warehouse, and helping out management in any way that i could.The most enjoyable part of the day was working with my fellow associates at Leons. Great place to work for. I learned alot from leons. I learned how to recieve trucks, – more... plot deliveries and do the paperwork, and also learned how to scan stuff out of the store. – less

Although I did not have an official position and only worked during their sales for the last couple of years, they gave me the opportunity to gain money. It also gave me the chance to practice how to handle and greet customers, and I am proud to say I consistently meet the needs of all the customers

I learned how the computer system works. Taught me how to find all necessary information on product within the store. Help fill in positions and took extra hours while i between hiring.

Leon's Furniture is a wonderful place to work. My coworkers are wonderful and friendly and everyone gets a long for most part. Management is great as well they make sure that you understand a task and they are always open for questions should you need help or guidance. We take care of the custoemr first and formost.

This job taught me new skills (credit checks, financing) as well as gave mepratice dealin with customers who were both pleasant and angry.

A typical day as office manager, were running reports, balancing and ensuring the previous days sales, exchanges, financing etc were all in balance and correct. Answering the phone, assisting in other departments such as customer service, warehouse and sales. The best part of this position was the freedom of being able to chat with customers - most – more... customers are repeat customers and you get to know them. The staff, after years of working with the same people they become like family. The hardest part of working at Leon's was leaving, – less

Great people, management and an overall great experience. Pay is based on moving up the ladder tho. Moving up in the company also requires possibly moving to other parts of Canada.

This place is all full of false promises just to keep you employed there and as long as you are willing to wait your lifetime to see these promises take place then I would recommend getting another job. The management is horrid no support what so ever and tend to favor to the longer employees whether good or bad, right or wrong. Not willing to accept – more... new ideas and make you feel like your ideas are awesome but yet don't do anything and when questioned they treat you like you are dumb. Not to mention that they pay is slavery – less

Answer incoming calls, inform customers on product warranties, send out work orders to repair damaged furniture, call manufacturers and complete follow-up on parts orders and arrange customer deliveries
Knowledge of C.S.R and G.E.R computer systems
Operate dispatch radio to communicate with drivers and check stock availability

I enjoy my position with Leons and never have a problem earning a comfortable income. The health plan is great and the company gives you all the tools.

I learned what I was taught and came to work on time and took extra hours if needed. I got along good with fellow co-workers. It was more unsafe judgement by my manager than hard work. Standing on ladders doing lights when it needed and ADT electrical specialist. I enjoyed deliveries and nightshifts.

Not at all a bad place to work as long as Saturdays r not a huge part of ur schedual because it is the most important day of the week for the company...do not screw around in the first three months cuz they will not hesitate to let u go if u miss any more than three days of work...there is an upbeat work environment between employees and if ur a delivery – more... driver hrs r great and pay is in the upper part of above average concidering the fact that it's mindless work...mi recommendation is go for it but prove urself quik to get a decent partner cuz without a gd partner the days will really suck and the money will seem like a bleak reason to stay – less

Leons doesnt care about you or your health. Never provided any lifting devices
