Pros

Great team, full of talented, bright individuals. The work itself is also enjoyable and harassment is not tolerated here. There is a sense of harmony, and everyone seems to enjoy working with each other. You will also learn a lot because the Marketing Manager knows a lot and is very passionate about his job.

Cons

The pay is extremely low, and you are expected to give your life to the company. You are not allowed to have a life, and you get nothing in return. This is mainly driven by the owner of the company. He tries to squeeze as much out of his employees as he possibly can. Does not value his employees, but realizes that if he doesn't try and make them feel valued, they will not be loyal to the company, so does small token gestures like offering a free massage or spending $8 on an employee for a night at the Improv. There is no health insurance, no 401k, no decent pay, no overtime, and no flexibility. Tells employees that if they're not being paid well and/or valued, it's because they're not working hard enough yet. One employee needed a life/death operation, and instead of letting her relax and recover, the owner was bragging to everyone that she was still on her laptop working from her hospital bed. Everyone also has respiratory problems in the office because the air quality is so bad. There was a mold problem that doesn't seem to have been fixed yet. Anyone who stays here long, doesn't realize their value and is definitely selling themselves short. I'm not writing this to be vindictive. I'm not a disgruntled employee. I bought into it for a little while until I wised up. I feel bad for leaving my team and am writing this to inform them.

Pros

This job has no pros and was a waste of time.

Cons

Basically, unless you enjoy walking up to people and begging them to get their cabinets refaced in order to receive commission, this job is NOT for you. This company is trying to recruit people using job descriptions like Marketing Coordinator or Entry Level Management, but there is NO marketing and very little (1 hour a day) management training. The majority of your day will be spent sprinting at a home improvement store, going up to people and asking them a ton of questions. Then, if they actually need their cabinets refaced, you have to make a reservation AND they have to confirm their reservation before you can receive any commission. Other than commission, you WILL be making minimum wage.
