As a family-owned business, Furntiureland South has championed a family-oriented atmosphere for its employees since the beginning. In fact, when asked what makes this company special, most employees will tell you it feels like working with and around family every day. From the marketing department to our material handlers, design consultants and floor designers, there is so much gratitude floating around our 1.3 million square foot campus, and we are delighted to share it with you. Please take a moment to view the following videos for a glimpse inside what working at Furnitureland South looks like, how it feels and why we consider ourselves extremely lucky to call this place “home” while sharing that sentiment with our clients and customers.
