Pros

Great name in the industry. They have a root in the small town atmospehere which does help. They invite people from all over the world to visit their factory, which is incredible. That's all I have to say about that.

Cons

Low pay and long hours. If you work with the right people it can be much more enjoyable. If you work in the wrong area, it can be very difficult to sell such an expensive product. There are several knock-offs that are much less expensive. That makes the job very difficult at times.

Pros

Great product, hours were good, and good culture overall. I worked there for well over 10 years and was very sad to leave.

Cons

The Birmingham branch went through several owners during my long tenure with the company. Each owner had its pros and cons. Eventually Birmingham was bought out by the corporate office. The company constantly changing owners gave alot of anxiety and employees were often left feeling a lack of stability. There is not alot of room for growth and the starting pay is not the best, unless you are in Trade sales.
