Amazing Place

Pros

The people- From the front desk to the designers to the installers to upper management. I've built some life-long relationships because of that place. The atmosphere- the atmosphere, for being in the construction industry, was the best I've ever had the pleasure of participating in.

Cons

When I was employed there, my only grievances were the pay which I've heard has finally matched (or come close to) competitors, and the fact I felt I wasn't taken seriously. I performed many tasks that absolutely should have been managerial tasks, but never really received the recognition but more importantly when I suggested a procedure to reduce one if the biggest issues (tear out of existing closets) I was shut down before I was even able to propose my idea.

Impossible expectations

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.
