Pros

Reasonable appointment start times Good receptionists Decent material quality

Cons

No training pay, but countless hours of driving are required before they even think about cutting you a check. They never reimbursed my mileage or tolls. Commission takes months to come in. Training also lasted however long management wanted. It was originally supposed to be 5 days of training but mine lasted almost a month. I never had weekly support meetings despite being assured I'd have help every week. They told me countless times that the average drive to an appointment is 20-30 minutes but I was almost always driving an hour or more. Owners act like they're doing you a favor by paying you for your work and offering incentives for good reviews. They also have no problems firing you for taking off work due to COVID and keeping your last paycheck.

The points you are bringing up vary by location due to state laws. Most all locations pay for training. The commission is set higher than the industry standard to offset driving expenses along with bonuses and other perks. Again this varies by state and employment laws.

Pros

You can make our own hours

Cons

Not so much a con but more an accurate description: Any custom closet design job is a sales job first. All customers have unrealistic expectations of what a custom closet or project costs. You must qualify them before spending hours on the design.

You are right that it's a sales position that also includes design and organization skills. We do train for all three and it does take time to learn them. Part of the training is to discuss with the client their budget. We also prefer that the designer supply clients with a quote sheet that has 3 price levels. I actually think it's a PRO instead of a CON. We do encourage speaking realistically to clients about price so Designers do not over-design or spend a ton of time with someone that is not prepared to spend the price. Thanks for your feedback.

Pros

Relatively new to the job but so far I’m enjoying it. They’ve been keeping me busy which is what I prefer but you have complete control over your schedule which is great. You definitely need to put in work but it’s an enjoyable job.

Cons

Commission is how you make your money so there’s no security in a consistent paycheck.

Over time your income will become consistent. One of the strengths of this position is the flexible schedule and your ability to create your schedule. We are glad you are enjoying the work, which gives a good foundation for growing success.
