the future home of your career.

"I started with Ashley Home Store in December of 2006 after a lengthy career running my own appliance business. Throughout the years I have enjoyed working with great teams and have been highly successful only missing the Million Dollar Club a couple of years. It has been a very rewarding experience and I look forward to growing and sharing my knowledge and experience for years to come."

"I joined TDG in 1994 at a time where the company was in the early stages of what has turned out to be incredible growth. The mentorship and support I was given opened the door for me to develop and grow in all areas of the operation. I began my journey as a delivery driver and warehouse merchandise handler and soon after was given the opportunity to manage the service department. 15 years later, I was promoted to Store Manager of Dufresne Furniture, and later transferred to the Ashley brand where I opened a new store in London. The experience and confidence I gained in my years of service led me to my role as Regional Sales Manager, and now Director of Store Operations."

"It has been an incredible 14-year journey being part of the Ashley/Dufresne group. I began as warehouse help, where I received and picked orders. However, I soon discovered a love for woodworking when I moved to the repair department. Although it was gratifying, my passion was truly ignited when I started working on delivery trucks. Providing delivery services for The Dufresne Group has been incredibly rewarding. I have witnessed the joy of families receiving their new sectional for their basement or parents seeing their toddler's big boy bed assembled. These daily moments of happiness have been life-changing. Today, I am a Transportation Supervisor and am able to share the knowledge I have gained and grow the incredible relationships I have made over the years. Being part of The Dufresne Group has been an amazing experience, to say the least."

“TDG is a great place to work for, it’s a place where all employees collaborate toward one vision which is make life better. We always strive to make life better for our guests by listening and taking good care of them. TDG made life better for me as an employee by offering various opportunities to grow and sharpen my experience and skills. I am so grateful to be part of the amazing TDG.”

Ahmad Jad, Manager, Guest Care

"Since becoming a Store Principal, I find work is a lot less “work-like”.  I have almost full control of my store’s direction, community affiliations and ultimately, it’s success! The Principal model has opened me up to thinking more like an owner and gives me the autonomy to design and chase big deals. The position definitely keeps me on my toes and challenges me to think outside of the box to make business-changing decisions with the goal of catering my store to the market we serve.  I have found my perspective of the business has changed; rather than being a manager, I am now a fully engaged puzzle solver."

"I have been working with The Dufresne Group for over a decade, and the reason why is simple: it's the people. I have never worked for a company that is so invested in developing and supporting their people, and I think that fact shows when you look at how many of us celebrate 5, 10, 20+ year milestones with the company. I love having the opportunity to use my skills on a daily basis and to feel as if I am really making a difference in the lives of our guests. I get to work hard and also have fun. It's the perfect balance, and I am so glad to work for TDG."

Nikki Cameron, Manager, Store Administration

"One thing I love about TDG is how much we care about our people! I first joined TDG in 2011 as a part-time sales agent, and now am a Director of Stores for Ashley. Over that time, I’ve worked in many roles in different departments across locations and have learned a lot about the company. The opportunity to grow and develop is something I never saw possible anywhere else. Today, I love what I do – I get to help my team turn their dreams into reality by purchasing their first home, their dream car, or looking after their family. I truly get to Make Life Better for them, and for myself!"

Christine Francis, Director, Stores (Ashley)

"I have been with The Dufresne Group since November of 2016, and have been thrilled to work for a company that allows you to grow at the pace you define and supports you in trying different career paths.  I started with the organization as a Manager in Training, and in my six years have moved into a Store Manager, Regional Manager, National Manager, Category Manager, and now hold the role of Director, Stores.  If you really embrace a “growth mindset”, the ability to grow at TDG is endless!"

"At the end of the day you want to be successful, and you want your store to be successful, and you want your team to be successful. So in order to do that you have to have some say in your store, and I think that's the biggest thing going from a Manager to a Store Principal - you actually have say."
