The mass hiring event provided potential sales associates and managers the opportunity to meet-and-greet with current associates, learn more about the the Mattress Firm culture and benefits and interview on-the-spot for job openings. Mattress Firm was on the hunt for candidates with either five years of sales or customer service experience, a bachelor’s degree or previous military experience.
