Commission only and One of the worst jobs you'll ever have
"Designer" (Former Employee), Whittier, Ca – May 3, 2013
Pros: they feed you during training
Cons: working for the company
I cannot believe I fell for this opportunity. The red flags were all over the place, but I and many others have fallen for the "Designer" position. The customer service representatives who are supposed to be there to help you have had a history of being rude and nasty. But after many complaints they seem to have gotten it together a bit.

Dont get me – more... started on management, there is a poison in that company thats hard to describe, but anyone who has encountered this place will understand what I mean. They pretend to be nice to you and then you realize sooner than later that it was all a front because there is no respect for designers even though we are the reason why any of them get a check. Meanwhile, we have to spend all of our own personal money on gas only to end up with a very low commision. Its very hard to make it unless you have a nice savings account in the first place.

After all was said and done, one of the managers told me you need to have a nice amount in your savings account to do this job. My question to him was, how was I supposed to know that. No one ever mentions that at all during the entire time and by the time you get wise to whats happening you've spent all of your own money and are left to go find a "real" job. I worked my tail off on one closet in particular spending hours designing and re-designing, etc... only to find my commission was going to be a measely $50. And on top of that said client cancelled and no one even told me. I was expecting to get paid on it. I was making more on unemployment.

I would still highly reccommend this place however, but only to my worst enemy or an ex boyfriend. – less

Run! The worst company to work for!
Designer (Former Employee), Whittier, CA – February 1, 2013
Pros: flexibilty
Cons: bad pay, bad management, outdated sales tools, inadequate training
If you don't mind working for people who could care less about whether you get paid, or if clients are satisfied, or do anything to show they appreciate your hard work, then this is the place for you.

Designers do not win in this company!

You will be in a losing situation working with inept people who you can never depend upon.

Rude slave drivers
Designer (Current Employee), Southern California – October 15, 2012
Pros: ...let me think...still thinking...i got nothing
Cons: rude, low pay, no benefits, scheduling
The company is very good at motivating with lies, putting you down(over the phone) while you're in front of customers. They constantly tell you to be proud of your company and I have yet to see a reason to.
The designers are the ones making all the money for that company and they treat them inapropriately...they train new ones all the time because of – more... the turnover.
Scheduling is very hard to plan around...you never know what your next day holds until 8PM the night before.
...yes, I'm looking for a new job. – less

Love working in the home improvement industry
Marketing support (Current Employee), Whittier, CA – June 30, 2012
Pros: creative, fun industry, great people, supportive management, low turnover, advancement opportunities, great work environment.
Cons: custom products are great, but sometimes challenging. totally worth it.
The housing market slowdown of the past few years has effected the entire home improvement industry. It's been a little challenging for everyone. I've been with the company for over 10 years. It's nice to work for a company that truly cares for its customers, employees and vendors.

Flexible hours/good money
Senior Designer (Current Employee), Los Angeles Ca – June 22, 2012
Pros: flexible hours. my manager lets me vent ( most of the time)
Cons: too much paperwork.
I love meeting new people everyday and helping them get organized. Best part? No cold calling. (that wore me out in my last sales job.) A lot to learn at first but then it gets easy. Trust me--there is a reason I've been here a little over 8 years. Very good pay for the time I put in.

Enthusiastic Management is contagious
Sales/Executive Senior Designer (Former Employee), Whittier, CA – May 15, 2012
While I was there I learned that I could sale! Not a lot of contact with other sales staff because everyone is out in the field with customers. My sales manager was extremely helpful and a very fair person. The hardest part of the job was keeping a strong sales quota. The most enjoyable part of the job were the clients.

It's a job......
District Sales Manager (Former Employee), Whittier, CA – March 21, 2012
Pros: good pay
Cons: constantly playing "mop up"
Working for this company is like a game of Russian Roulette. The company itself has a terrible service rating with the BBB. As a manager, I spent 1/2 of my day trying to motivate sales people, most of whom had a really distaste for the company. The other 1/2 was spent taking calls from VERY dissatisfied customers. It’s no wonder anyone doing a general – more... Google search on the company will see the numerous complaints. There is a very dysfunctional nature about the company and if felt like an "everyone for themselves" sort of environment. I have seen every level of management quit their positions within my 1st year. Bottom-line, it is a job… just not a very comfortable one. – less
