Pros

You will be paid for holidays.

Cons

They want folks to bring their own clients, yet have you sign a form saying you will not take clients when you leave. They allow management to bully the sales staff and will not address issues even when formal complaints have been made. You will maybe see the owners once every few months, but will receive passive-aggressive emails, texts, and calls from the corporate office. There is no support from the corporate office and owners. Logistics for a high-end experience are non-existent. Basic needs like landline phone, internet, advertising, and marketing are not available. They want you to use your own money to woo designers and architects. You will not receive any benefits aside from a very expensive, mediocre coverage medical insurance. No 401(k). No dental insurance. No disability insurance. There is no room for growth. No marketing. No constructive criticism or suggestions are allowed that would increase revenue. People are allowed to claim customers they’ve never waited on. Management accuses associates of doing things without looking into them then does not apologize when wrong. No accountability for some folks when it comes to attendance. They do not utilize folks with experience. There are people in charge who have no retail management experience.
