Pros

Flexible schedule. Good commission rate. Beautiful products, large assortment. Awesome Employee discounts. Company provided iPads. On going company training programs.

Cons

Several decorators competing for territory. Complex, custom products leave room for errors in ordering. Some decorators have 'in store' assistants and some do not which leaves them at a disadvantage. Poor reporting make it difficult to track commissions.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
