Great product, poor management/people skills

Designer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great product, good installers, decent pay. As long you don't ask questions and handle all customer complaints yourself you can avoid management.

Cons

Abusive management. No respect for clients shown by management. Designers do not support one another in company meetings. Owners are divorced and personal disagreements are on display daily. Must be available to clients 24/7 by phone and email.

Pros

Great company culture. Franchise owned so dependent on your specific area, but ours was like a family. There were about 40 of us total. Leaders were extremely motivating and great mentors.

Cons

My job required specific hours as well as working nights, weekends and holidays.

Impossible expectations

Installer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The salary pay is nice for shorter days and you get full benefits

Cons

The pay is based off commission, but it's not commission. They expect you to complete a certain amount each month and base your salary on what they think you're capable of. You'll never hit that number due to manufacturer issues and human error with ordering, designs, etc, so it's impossible to negotiate for higher pay or more incentives even though it's not your fault, because they'll just say you haven't hit your numbers. That's how they keep the labor costs lower and bring morale and motivation down.
