Pros

Good product, friendly staff. If you work there long enough you meet some life long friends and get to know their families.

Cons

Not what I signed up for. I was told 45 hours a week. That never happened. In fact you never got off at the time your schedule said. Basically on call all the time. Webinars and conference calls on your day off early in the morning. Usually it was to tell you how much you suck or to call BS on the staff when we tried to talk our business. Not only were you responsible for your own goals but you had to get your staff to work on their goals. Which is hard to motivate someone for an hourly wage of $10.00 and sometimes less. Expect to clean toilets, mop floors, climb ladders to change light bulbs, unload merchandise and unbox, clean kitchen, mulch, paint, fix things, vacuum, dust, hang outdoor signs in all weather climates, move furniture, and clean windows all in your work clothes. Also expect any of your ideas to be a waste of time It's usually the managers way or no way. And they have no problem letting you know that if front of your entire staff by yelling at you on the sales floor. I feel like I wasted a ton of years with this company. If your a training store expect to of all this AND train everyone with no other compensation while your manager gets all the praise. Word of advice, anything they tell you in the interview get in writing, because it won't stick unless you have proof.

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

Alright starting pay, benefits, free drinks

Cons

Micro managed severely, management does not recognize the hard workers and only cares about the numbers. If you make a mistake, instead of using it as a learning opportunity, you are made to feel dumb. No one is helpful.
