Pros

Decent “draw” to start out. Very fun and fast paced when you’re busy with exciting projects.

Cons

Outdated designs, management styles and business practices. “can’t rely on the door” is what you’ll be told but ethan allen provides absolutely NO marketing tools for you to build “your business.” this company has so much potential but has fallen far behind in the times. very high turnover because if you don’t reach your sales draw 3 months in a row they will fire you. they don’t care if you have a decade of experience- i’ve seen them fire amazing designers. there is no work life balance. it is required to work every saturday plus one late night until 8pm. over 40 hours every week regardless. and you’ll also work most sundays so expect to miss out on a lot of personal events.

Pros

Ability to do full interior design service. Fun to work with different design elements and clients projects. Store closes at 6pm.

Cons

Managment micromanage their employees and treat them like children. Many good talented designers end up leaving because of this. Managers need to learn to respect their designers and appreciate all the work they do for the company.
