Pros
In boom times of the year when people are remodeling, there is plenty of money to be made. The culture is a mixture of professional and casual, probably leaning more towards casual. It is retail, so hours can be worked around generally, but mostly during the week. Expect to work all weekend. You will want to for the sake of your wallet.
Cons
There is pretty much nowhere to go except be an assistant or store manager. This means even more hours and more stress as these managers are constantly scrutinized on their store performance. The pay for a sales consultant is on a draw structure, so if you do not pull the commission amount of your draw, it is owed back to the company. If you can sell it's generally not an issue, but that being said you can only sell to who comes into your store. Slow store, horrible payday.
