Careers | Build a Lasting Career at Furniture and Things Elk River

Work Where You’re More Than an Employee

The biggest benefit of working at Furniture and Things is being part of a family-run business that truly values its people. Since opening our doors in 1979, we’ve built our reputation on honesty, quality, and community, and that same approach shapes how we treat our employees.

Many of our team members have been with us for decades. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen by accident; it comes from being part of a company where decisions are made thoughtfully, and where leadership takes time to listen. Our owners are hands-on and deeply involved, and they take pride in running a stable, supportive business that always puts people first.

When you work here, you join a team that’s proud to represent a long-standing local brand and a trusted name in the Elk River community. You’ll find the kind of workplace where people look out for one another, share their knowledge, and enjoy what they do.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re always looking for good people with the right mindset; those who share our respect for craftsmanship, service, and teamwork.

Experience is welcome, but it’s not a dealbreaker. What matters most to us is attitude, curiosity, and fit. If you’re dependable, kind, and eager to learn, we’ll teach you the rest.

Here’s what we value in new team members:

A positive attitude and a genuine interest in helping others
A good mental fit with our collaborative, team-oriented culture
Natural ability—you don’t have to be an expert on day one
A creative mindset and a willingness to learn
The desire to build a long-term career, not just a short-term job

We offer on-the-job training to help new hires grow their skills and confidence. Many of our best team members started with little or no experience and built rewarding careers through hard work and dedication.

Why People Love Working Here

Furniture and Things isn’t a corporate chain, and we like it that way. Our employees describe the culture as family-like, supportive, and steady. We celebrate long-term commitment, encourage open communication, and believe that everyone plays a role in our success.

401(k) retirement plan to help you invest in your future
Health and dental coverage that supports you and your family
Paid time off (PTO) so you can rest, recharge, and enjoy life outside of work
Competitive pay that reflects your effort and experience
Flexible hours that make it easier to balance work and home life
Opportunities for growth and advancement within the company

We’re proud to say that the people who join us tend to stay. Our staff enjoys working with a product they believe in: many high-quality, American-made options that are built to last. Customers trust our expertise, and that trust makes every interaction more rewarding.
