Pros

Opportunity to determine your own schedule; autonomy in pursuing sales and making decisions.

Cons

100% commission. Compensation is low. Competition is very high and very competative. Closet Factory is the higher priced alternative, so always having to justify product when sometimes there is very little differentiation.

Pros

Challenging fabrication problems. Work in shop and in customer homes. Despite the Cons (below), it is fun to correct a design, create/cut the material and finally install it in someone's home.

Cons

Most challenges and problems are self generated/in-house. Employee's standards are higher than the proprietor's. Felt like management was always trying to sneak something past us so we had to be hyper vigilant to keep us out of trouble. Low contract integrity with customers. Rampant discounts to massage poor material management and poor scheduling (reduced margins and poor cash flow). No capital improvement. Poorly maintained work space (-$). A zero growth company.

I am struggling to picture what franchise location you are referring to. You've worked for them since 2012 so you must like working there. You may email me and confidentially share the location and the issues you observe so that we can assist the owner if they are in need. My email is paris.bernhardt@closetfactory.com Thanks, Paris

Work from home when there are no appointments. Flexible schedule and independence during the design process.

No reimbursement for gas. Some clients do not respect consultation times. The KCD software can be difficult to navigate.

Thank you for sharing this perspective after your time with the Toronto team. It is encouraging to know that the flexibility of the position was a benefit. We recognize that navigating new software and managing consultation times can be demanding parts of the design process. This feedback is valuable as the company works to refine the resources and training available to our team members. We appreciate the hard work and wish you much success.
