Our Story

The FDE Story

At Ashley, we’re committed to making beautiful home furnishings affordable.

We became the top furniture brand in the world based on one simple, but powerful idea: to give you more value for your money. Our staff is committed to excellence in all we do. We provide the best value in home furnishings backed by superior service before, during, and after the sale.

By maintaining our core values of honesty and integrity, we’ve made Ashley a great place to work and shop. We are currently hiring motivated, engaging, and driven professionals to join our sales team.

Ashley is the #1 selling furniture brand in North America. We spend millions of dollars on local, regional, and national advertising that drives traffic and generates opportunities for our associates to meet their income and professional development goals.

Our fully paid training program relies heavily on mentorship and practical learning — so you’ll spend less time in a classroom and more time on the floor, learning the steps by watching seasoned pros.

We are an equal opportunity employer and offer competitive bonus, benefit, and commission packages for qualified applicants.

Ashley Cares

Community

Living out our mission beyond our showrooms — in every community we serve.

At FDE, serving our communities is part of who we are. Through Ashley Cares, we support programs that help our team members give back, strengthen local communities, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Whether we’re volunteering our time or helping children receive a good night’s sleep, we’re committed to creating a positive impact beyond our showroom walls.

Give a Day

Give a Day

Giving Back, One Day at a Time

We believe that making a difference starts with showing up. Through Give a Day, every FDE Team Member is encouraged to spend one paid workday each year volunteering with a nonprofit organization that is meaningful to them. From food banks and community organizations to youth programs and local charities, our team members are empowered to support causes they care about while strengthening the communities we call home. Give a Day reflects our belief that community involvement shouldn't be limited to personal time — by investing in our team members' passion for service, we're able to create lasting impact where it matters most.

Hope to Dream

Hope to Dream

Every Child Deserves a Good Night's Sleep

A bed is more than furniture. It's a place to rest, dream, and grow. Through Hope to Dream, a portion of every mattress sold helps provide beds to children ages 3–16 who do not have a bed of their own. Each completed bed donation includes everything a child needs for a comfortable night's sleep, helping create a foundation for healthier and brighter futures. This program has impacted thousands of children throughout the communities we serve — because every child deserves to sleep well and dream big.

Come be part of the story.

We’re hiring motivated, engaging, and driven professionals to join our team.
