Pros

If you are a successful salesperson, there is room for professional growth.

Cons

They need to invest in quoting software. It was very time consuming to quote jobs without it. They provide two (huge) sets of product samples & require you to play the game of switching the sets each month so they can meet govt. requirements that the products are not continually on sale. This seems unethical. Half the samples completely filled my minivan. It's fortunate I had an unfinished basement to store the other half in. Limited to JCPenney window treatment styles and the fabrics they carry. Blinds are not priced competitively and take 4-6 weeks from order to install. If you are successful, they will hire another decorator to split the territory with you, thereby cutting your sales potential in half. They will fire you if you can't meet your quota even though the economy is tough.
