Sturdy salary but unfair commission structure and favoritism

Interior designer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

good sturdy salary, not really a boring day ever. very good training process in terms of going to the head office,

Cons

quite an unsociable working pattern, and a rough commission structure. You have to make the company £42,000 minimum in a month to be able to earn anything. management also likes to take leads you have accumulated for yourself and hand them to their favourites in the store which is very unfair.

Fun job in a beautiful environment, but poor upper management

Kitchen designer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay used to be really great, the job itself is really fun. Also a beautiful environment to work in.

Cons

The commission structure would be adjusted every time there was a minimum wage increase to make it harder to get commission, so I ended up making less in my last months than I did in my first year. Also a very disgusting attitude amongst upper management of “we’re paying you enough so you can’t complain about anything”. Went through 4 store managers in 2.5 years because it was such a stressful job with no support from upper management. Ultimately there was a mass exodus from our store, with 8 employees quitting in 2 months because of an employee brought back after being previously fired for gross misconduct, who was really tight with upper management but had severe conduct issues and antagonised almost every other designer in the store.
