Pros

Very Comfortable setting, easy going environment, fun to design with clients. Love being able to coordinate colors and style to fit the customers needs. Not corporate feeling at all and the owner really does care for his employees. Gives a little bonus at the end of the year.

Cons

Not paying the commission people what they are writing every month. So we've been extremely busy and we are producing well over goal but we are paid on deliveries and we are not getting paid what we are putting in. Not nearly enough to survive on. They are barely implementing a "guarantee" pay of $2800 every month but we should be getting paid close to $6000 a month based on what we are writing. Deliveries are not coming in like they used to pre-pandemic and we are starting to see our 9 month lead times catch up to us. There is no stock to sell from either making it extremely difficult to survive on this pay. There's no sick pay, no paid time off. The medical benefits are outrageous and you couldn't afford it even if you wanted to.

Pros

Easy selling environment due to intense brand loyalty and quality Depending on location, good schedule (relative to other companies of it’s kind) Customers are (typically) older and therefore more established/have higher income.

Cons

Pay is not sustainable. The commission structure is very company friendly and not very salesperson friendly. With all metrics being met… you’re looking at roughly 55-60k a year. Not enough in today’s day and age. Sales are often very confusing and not easy to explain, OR are very simple. Pick one.
