Business Outlook

Pros

Was great when franchised but corporate bought back and went downhill

Cons

-Total lack of support from management. -Corporate expects designers to do all admin, selling and designing along w handling the constant installation problems so you as the deisgner come out looking badly no Matterhorn great your part was done -Usually your on call 7 days a week, so no down time -you are not paid until the entire job has been completed which can take months as there are so many go backs due to inexperienced installers

Ok short term. Not a lot of future potential. Owner is a quack.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent starting wage Four day work week Easy to learn

Cons

Not super welcoming to women even though there are female employees. They hire women, but then make it seem like they are so great becuase they hire women. But they say it like they are doing the world a big favor. Long shifts, lack of proper tools, staff isn't super inviting to those without experience. Older staff members are toxic and condescending if you don't have a ton of experience or are a carpenter.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedule. Creative work. Lots of resources and technology if you work for a franchise that utilizes all the tools.

Cons

Lack of values. Treats their short or long term employees like crap in the name of money. Backstabbing at an unbelievable level but that can be the shallow and ego based interior design industry for ya. Mentally unstable manager. Yuck.
