Pros

There are no pros to speak of.

Cons

If you want a company where the management is incompetent, then this is the company for you. I worked for this job for just over 4 years. I can honestly say it was the worst time in my life. Job performance means nothing. While I was the production supervisor, the production department had a 99% success rating. However, we were constantly taken for granted. We worked a ton of hours and jobs were overbooked and scheduled in a way that made the everyday shop life a horror. There was never any recognition for all the time and effort we put in. No jobs were measured right or planned right which made cutting and getting the jobs ready for install and impossibility. When you spoke of problems to the management, they just swept it under the rug and would not take any action to solve them. The management would get into your personal life. One former employee did not get a raise for breaking his leg outside of work and not wishing to tell management how he broke it outside of work. A few current employees are told who they can and cannot talk to outside of work because the management does not like a former employee that those employees are still friends with. One employee was fired for what he told management after hours. The management expects respect but is unwilling to give it. One time an employee, while driving a company vehicle, got a ticket for the registration. The owner wanted that employee to pay for it. There is favoritism here. If you are not a designer you are treated like you do not matter. There is no ownership for anything. All people know how to do is pass the blame. If you try to make the company better, they crucify you for it. Do not work here. You'll regret it. Believe me, I wasted 4 years of my life here. I worked overtime and made sure everything always got done. I gave the company a year notice. Nothing I did was appreciated. This company is not worth your time.

Pros

Looks great from the outside perspective but the fakest company I've ever seen!! If you want to fraud people this is the company for you. They act nice but are evil people.

Cons

Horrible company. Horrible morals and values. Marks up jobs in order to give a discount. Fakest people I've ever met in my life. RUN RUN RUN as far away from this company as you can if you are about to work here or are going to work with them. Go to any other closet company BUT THEM!! You will thank me later. Just look at reviews on Yelp!

Pros

Higher starting pay rate Not a lot of turn over Business is growing It is a pro if you work for a privately owned franchise vs one of their corporate owned sores. Provide benefits and 401K (corporate owned stores) Creative company

Cons

For franchises that have turned into corporate owned stores, they have cut positions, let employees go that have worked for the company for many years. The medical benefits have changed , rates have gone up for less coverage. Management staff has been cut down and more work load placed on individuals shoulders. Employees do not feel valued nor excited. This was once a very exciting company to work for that made their employees feel valued which in place made you want to go above and beyond. There seems to be new changes to process and procedure constantly.
