Pros

High- end product. Modern showrooms.

Cons

It's 2016, not 2008. Hire enough staff to cover the showroom and pay your experienced employees at least market rate. Management likes to keep a revolving door of entry level new hires to keep overhead costs low. Some of us who are not the manager's pets are doing the work of 2 or more employees, with no recognition or hope for a promotion. We are all working too hard in order to make management wealthier, with little incentive to stay. Long retail hours and few paid holidays. Mandatory showroom hours Thanksgiving weekend at their poorly-timed yearly sale. High pressure unrealistic sales quotas that increase each year (with no salary increase). No time off for Christmas or New Years. No customer service and constant stock delays and errors from the factories in Spain who supply the products. Too much red tape and corporate bureaucracy around finding effective solutions for clients' inevitably troubled orders. Management steps in only when the clients lawyer up and scream at you. It's "Metropolis" meets "A Christmas Carol" here.

Pros

Collaborating with Porcelanosa has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my design career. From the beginning, I was struck by the brand's commitment to innovation, quality, and timeless elegance. As a designer, having access to their extensive product range—especially their porcelain tiles, bathroom collections, and kitchen systems—felt like unlocking a new level of creative potential. What stood out most was the seamless integration of form and function in their materials. Their surfaces are not only visually stunning but also incredibly durable and versatile, which allowed me to push the boundaries of my designs without compromising on practicality. Working closely with the Porcelanosa team, I found their product specialists to be knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about design. They were always ready to collaborate, offer solutions, and provide support, whether it was sourcing a specific material or customizing a product for a particular space.

Cons

Premium Pricing Porcelanosa products are positioned in the luxury segment, which means they come with a higher price tag. For clients with strict budgets, this can limit options or require trade-offs elsewhere in the project. Lead Times and Availability Some products, especially newer or more exclusive lines, may have long lead times or limited availability, particularly if they are sourced from overseas. This can affect project timelines if not managed early in the design process.
