Pros

They will start you at a decent wage and depending on who you get partnered with you will learn lots about how to use tools and the tricks of the trade. You will probably befriend one of the other installers as we worked as a team often and the installers there are excellent.

Cons

Unfortunately as an installer I found there wasn't much room for growth as they would hire from outside the company and pay that person more then you even though you worked their longer. As they strive to be more "efficient" it became evident that safety of the installers was being compromised and our concerns were not addressed by management.

terrible management no support or sales manager required to work half the time in one of the showrooms without pay and alone sometimes you don't get paid for 3 months after you make a sale terrible commission payment program only care about profit and not about employees high turnover with designers office and installers promises aren't kept product overpriced so hard to make a sale

Fantastic job - If you have a good manager

Pros

Flexibility with schedule, great product and brand recognition, decent pay if you're a good sales person, great people (customers and colleagues).

Cons

Too much responsibility for one individual: sales, design, customer service, project manager...you're on call 24/7. In addition to that, every franchise is different, but mine is tarnishing the brand with poor management run by fear tactics and bullying. Extremely negative work environment and I've seen several skilled designers leave due strictly to the management style at my franchise.
