Pros

Faulkner has a great group of talented and friendly employees. And their designers create beautiful interiors. The health insurance cost is paid by the employer.

Cons

Upper management lacks professionalism, organization and tact . The company is very unorganized and doesn't seem to truly value its employees by providing competitive pay and respect. Upper management can be manipulative, spiteful and messy. If you are looking for a talented group of designers, this is a great place. If you are looking to grow professionally this may not be the place for you. You would also have to watch the intentions of upper management. The turnover rate is also very high. The management will tend to tell you what you want to hear when the actions are completely different. New employee training doesn't exist. There is a lack of standards, guidelines and procedures. CEO has a bad habit of texting during meetings and while she talks to you (unprofessional). Upper management is untruthful about job opportunities, opportunity for growth and job responsibilities. If you go for an interview please ask about turnover rate, company structure, company organization and how long the employees have been at the company. Most employees have been there under 2 years.

Unethical and unappreciative company

Pros

A full insurance package is offered. Half days on Fridays if your lucky enough to be able to leave by then.

Cons

This is the most unethical company I have worked for or dealt with. The upper management does not care about the employees. They are rude and take advantage of the talents of the people who make the firm what it is. Pay is among the worst in the industry and overtime is over the top, unpaid of course. Constant berating for going over time allotted to work on a project even though that time is unreasonably low to begin with. Get yelled at multiple times a week and constantly get told what you doing wrong-never get kudos for the many things you do right. The worst and most hurtful thing is the CEO always claims credit for successful designs even if she didn't work on them at all. But if a client is unhappy, she will not go to bat for you and actually degrades you and blames everything on you to make herself look better. The funny part is clients do not like her, and they are starting to see this company and its owner for what it really is. This company is tanking. People quit and are fired left and right but no one new is hired. Run while you can and do not hire these people. It will make you sick to your stomach when you learn the truth about what goes on behind the scenes.

Pros

Great benefits and that's it.

Cons

The CEO is a neurotic, crazy woman, she cusses her designers out and uses unprofessional behavior. Literally everyone that works there just deals with it because the benefits are good. She takes credit for everyones work and she doesn't have an ounce of talent. She is rude and disrespectful.
