Where do I start.. First of all, the great reviews are mostly by Sales Executives of the company, those who sit behind a desk all day, talk on phone and lower prices (They are mostly located at the company’s headquarters or main branches. They are the ones with the job security and desks, that's why they have been with the company for donkey years. I worked for easy rest starting as a sales agent. My very first month I sold 14 beds. First week i sold 5 beds and asked my trainer to go on straight commission he insisted i stay on base pay. I was ranked number 5 in the whole country among their agents with my first week. With base pay you sell thousand dollar beds but they only compensate you and average of like $20 per bed you sell +$10 gas and $50/presentation. At training i told my trainer i would need to take a Saturday in 3 wks, he told me to notify Executive Sales 1 wk before. I did and they still didn’t pay me. All new agents are REQUIRED to work every Saturday their first 3months to qualify for the new agent bonus. The odds are stacked against you; they will do all they can to let you go and hire someone else before you see a penny of that bonus. I had to beg them for that Saturday off numerous time before they let me have it, this was after asking us in training if anyone needed any days of now, speak you mind. But guess what they didn't pay me any gas money for that week. It was not until after i re-emailed the recruiter before he told the accountant to pay me, they put it on my statement but i still haven't seen that money in addition to my other pay for the whole week based upon a hard copy of one app they are lying they haven't received. This was only $90. Keep in mind that by this point i had sold about 9 beds which average about a couple thousand dollars each and the company refused to pay me $90.... $90 for gas just because i took a Saturday off to attend to a family members wedding, which i had scheduled at training when I was inquired.
Furthermore, the company promises a lot of money yr in commission and salary to their sales agents.... but only the sales executives, that sit behind a desk all day and lower prices on beds in order to sell the customer, just in case you are not good enough to sell the bed at around 8k the first time, only the sales executives have a good chance of making all that money promised to you. An agent should be happy if he or she makes ($24,000)/yr. You, the salesperson that travels to the customers in sleet, rain or snow to sit with them for 3hrs, will first of all make only an average bonus of like a couple of dollars on each bed you sell, whether you sell it for thousands or not. This is because they market mostly to the elderly or sick people who are on limited/budgeted income. The only way you would make a decent bonus per bed is if you collect a huge down payment from the customer. But the problem is that most elderly people are not ready to buy the bed when you walk to their door, they think you bring them a free pillow, let alone leave a huge down payment (They are retired and on SS benefits) for a bed that is way overpriced but lowered drastically in price in order to prey on the elderly making them think they are getting a good deal. The company already knows this that's why they base your bonus amount on the more down payment you collect. This also cause a lot of cancellation, because by the time they realized they have been duped into buying a bed for a few thousand dollars that was first priced at an unimaginable price then they cancel. The company would blame you, and they wont pay you. Also they came up with the excuse of not receiving the hard copy of one of my applications, so they have not payed me in 3 weeks. Such an inhumane company, wouldn't have imagined a company like this could act in such a way when i decided to take the position. But all the Sales executives that sit behind a desk, talk on the phone and only lower prices get paid. I understand if the company was missing an application or didn't receive it (which they are lying about), then the humane thing to do is not pay out that bonus for the particular app or even my whole salary for just that week (At most). But when you hold my whole salary for three weeks just because you didn't receive 1 app out of 14apps( closed deals), (Meanwhile you already have all the soft copies scanned to you), then again something is wrong and that is inhumane. The company has like a lot of agents nationwide but no sales executives of color as far as I know.
This company is full of discrimination. They talk to you anyhow, they would purposely keep you and your customers on long waiting phone lines even though the waiting time according to the system is an average of 2 minutes. The executives would start hating on you when u start making sales, and finding all excuses not to pay you cause you probably would be in line to make as much or more than them. (e.g if you have 1 cancellation out of 10 they will set up a retraining conference calls). They would have you driving 2 hours to an address that doesn't exist, when you call them that it doesn't exist or can’t find it they would tell you customer is not picking up, have a safe drive back. This is without even making an effort to corroborate, confirm or investigate the address to see if it’s not wrong or something. If there was an address one could at least tried knocking on the door or something before driving 2hrs back home. Maybe customer’s phone is off or something.
Therefore, if you are thinking about working for Easy Rest Adjustable Sleep Systems, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!! i did. Time and money for gas, car maintenance/ mileage, candles (gifts) for each customer you see and tolls which i still haven't been paid. If i can sell thousands worth of adjustable beds in one month and only receive a total compensation of about a few hundred dollars. DO YOU THINK THEY WILL PAY YOU WHAT YOU ARE WORTH? What makes you different? Your presentation material would also be paid in full by you, they will take it out of your check every week beginning with your 1st wk, and they will still require you to turn in these same materials you paid to the when you leave the company. That’s before they fire you or maybe you were smart enough to leave. Trust me they want and will take every penny they invested in you back, even your supposedly free hotel accommodation for training. Their marketing strategy is MARKET HIGH !!! ( Your salary, your commission, the adjustable beds you will be selling) but SELL LOW!!! (Your salary, your commission, and the adjustable beds you will be selling) Take it from me, I thought i had seen it all from sales companies, run from EASY REST Inc !! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!..
Salesman from Easy Rest Adjustable Sleep Systems came to our house on 7/12/18 and sold us two twin adjustable beds that would be joined together to form a queen size bed. He took our height and weight and said each bed would be customized individually for me and my partner. He also said we would have the bed in 7-10 business days. When we received the be on 8/10/18, a month later. The men who brought the bed told us the only difference in the two beds was one was a little firmer than the other. The salesman charged us $6,060 for the bed and our finance charge for 4 years would be another $4 grand, making the total cost of this bed over 10 grand. And it is impossible to sleep on! No thank you. The value of the bed is not worth more than $600. If you sleep on your back and don't move at all, all night, it might work for you.
I sleep on my side and I woke up practically unable to walk I had such lower back pain, not to mention my knees. My partner had the same problem. The two mattresses also separate during the night which makes sleeping uncomfortable also. We tried it for 5 nights and gave up. We called to return the bed. The man I talked to said they don't take returns at all. I said your contract says you do within 5 days. He said it was past 5 days, he would give me some pads to secure the mattresses. I called the next day and said forget the pads, come get the bed. He said No have a good day I said you'll hear from my lawyer. He said knock yourself out Goodbye. It's between him and the lawyer right now. Do yourself, a Big Favor, Don't Deal at all with this company.
As I said a salesmen came to my address on 09/26/2016 and gave me this great sales pitch of how great these beds are and how much I really need this bed they told me a bunch of lies and how easy it would be to own one of these great beds so they say but they don't tell you the facts of the real cost of this bed when I can get the very same thing for like $900 and I'm still to this day making pymts on this bed and not even half way paidoff yet. Let's just say I really got a good screwing and didn't enjoy it sorry to be so blunt but I really want my money back and I want this company sued before they screw more people as they did me if I can get help with this I would be very happy. I'm making my pymts to PCI Preferred Credit, Inc P.O. Box 1970 Saint Cloud, MN 56302-1970. As of April 3rd. which is when my pymts are due I still have an outstanding balance of are you ready for this $3376.80 That's right do you see how bad I'm getting screwed here can something be done about this please this is INSANE! Oh and one more thing I do always make my pymts on time never late!!! Please call me with a solution to this rip-off
John girty, jay reddington ,john kobal and a guy named Moe are nothing but cheap fraudsters...They teach strangers to be sales men for them and rip off the elderly. It gross. These guys have no shame. The beds are rediculously priced. They teach you to sell an over priced bed to someone that can t afford it. Moe and john kobal have a checkered past. every business they go into turns out to be taking advantage of the elderly.
My wife filled out an entry form to win a free bed, only to start getting harassed by a sales person named Mark Elliott who showed up at our house with a dvd presentation which translated into a full blown hour of sales tactics to get my wife to pay $6,000 that only cost $600 for the company to cover their cost. Beware of this companies false Google search of "satisfied" buyers of this cheap & poorly made bed that their sales people tell you cost a whopping $9,000 but will accept $6,000 if their "manager" approves the discounted price as if they are doing you a favor and giving you a deal. The company gives you a five day right to cancel, but good luck trying to exercise this right. We made many, many phone calls only to be told they have 13 managers and be put on hold for 10 mins at a time, or leave messages for the so called manager who could help us.
Once we finally sent in the right to cancel in hopes to get out of the contract and have the company pick up the bed due to it being so uncomfortable and poorly made, they never acknowledged the receipt of the right to cancel and the company cashed the "deposit" we gave them on the second day which from our understanding is illegal since the company provides a five day right to cancel. After speaking with the Maryland Attorney Generals office, the company is supposed to wait until the five day period provided has past, before cashing any deposit. Once a manager Ron Korman finally addressed the matter, he first told us this is not a bed that you can return so we were stuck with the purchase which again contradicts their own contract.
Then he told us the lowest cost he could offer if we kept the bed was $1,500 then he went down to the original deposit of $600. We then received a call from the finance company White Bridge Financial to confirm the financing terms, which we explained the matter and were advised they would not proceed with the financing. A week later we reached out to White Bridge Financial, we were told they "no longer" process financing for Easy Rest Financial due to problems with the companies busiuness practices. We received multiple calls from the manger and senior manager who threatened us to sue us and then another calls us back to offer us $1,300 payment to have the bed picked up. These people have talked to us in ways that are beyond unethical business practices. We are now letting the Attorney Generals office assist us. Our advise would be avoid this company with all efforts!!!

Here is a link of what their sales people supposedly get paid for selling their junk beds that are well overpriced by thousands
https://jobs.livecareer.com/l/sales-representative-easy-rest-adjustable-beds-88206a4feaf0edd51ac50437ea948804
They have a in house sales person do their dirty work because they know the bed would not be bought by anyone any other way.
