Pros

I was with the company for many years, and the only positive was my same-level co-workers.

Cons

No accountability for incompetent franchisees, and no monitoring of their behaviour towards staff. Unclear management structure that is too personal and friendly with the owners of the franchises, therefore no support for staff with concerns. Staff often left to run all aspects of the franchise, a fact which is not exclusive to the store I was part of. NO COMMISSION structure on low wages which were paid sporadically. LAZY OWNERS and uncaring national managers with appalling ideas on how things should be run. No room for progression as such tight, closed off management structure. A ridiculous company.

Pros

The training is in depth and the fellow employees and in store management are energetic, enthusiastic and supportive. The physical space is attractive and always evolving.

Cons

Sales expectations are unrealistic on a consistent basis given the size of staff and the individual set goals - you are only as good as your last month - even if you had many good months previously. If you have true design talent it is wasted here - there are set ways to put things together - it is best to have a "sell now and worry about the aftermath later" kind of attitude - a real culture of get the sale no matter what (got to make those quotas!) - even if it is not the best option for the customer. The quality is not where it should be for the cost.

Pros

Designing the dream home for clients. Great Furniture.

Cons

Micro managed by the Owner and Team Leader. Team Leader obsesses over every move you make by watching you through the security camera. You work very long hours, therefore your hard work, commitment, enthusiasm, efforts, and positive attitude are ignored. Upper management speaks in a foreign language in front of you constantly with little tact and consideration of you. If you show any potential of being great too fast, Team Leader will try and sabotage you and create drama so that they can complain to the Owners about you( who are personal friends). Owners will always believe Team Leader because of their friendship so you will lose.
