Pros

Family org., great showroom, great sales team to work with, great income potential, high energy, a well oiled sales process with the freedom to tailor to your own style. They make good cabinets with lots of options to a point.

Kontras

2 owners who are not in sync. and senior owner is disengaged and doesn't support his sale staff very well sometimes. They claim to be custom but really they want you to sell remodels that fit into a little box. Their claim to fame is "on time and on budget"...they rarely finish a job on time, then struggle to complete and have no sense of urgency so you don't get paid sometimes for weeks later...makes it hard to get referrals. Sometimes they seem rudderless and are top heavy with excess management. Typical of most contracting companies in lack of current technology uses. Lot's of paperwork. Their internal process of getting a project to the point of actually installing can take up to 7-8 months from date of sale. The have several procedural checks and balances but still seem to mess up projects, but they are good at eventually resolving probs. Income potential is definitely there but you have to work hard for it, 60-70 hrs per week, no bene's or mileage/phone compensation. They sometimes back charge commissions for things you don't control...major fail. If you come into the company without much industry experience good luck. Their training is choppy, with outdated software and manual processes that are not intuitive. The design SW is good, but poor training for that. The first 6-12 months they give you mostly counter top leads. Their pricing is way over the industry so very hard to make sales or a living. They talk about being a "family" company, but when you leave, even in the best of terms, they find every which way possible to not pay you final commissions.

Pros

- The Owner is much more involved - The New Vice President is one of the most determined and hard working individual I've ever met - The New GM is handling everything near perfectly, he is also very easy to work with. - Upper Management has been completely replaced. (This is literally the best decision the owner has ever made) - We have hired a range of different people who are all wonderful to work with and talk to. - Our whole team, although new, is very knowledgeable and can support each other very well - chanages are being made to streamline workflow processes.

Kontras

- Still a little rough around the edges but getting there - Some communication issues between teams still - not enough resources for new hires but that is being fixed currently

Pros

This is a family owned business who truly cares about their team as well as their customers. They have kept many employees for more than 15 years. They are always conscious of keeping their employees families supported.They strive to maintain a great dignity with their client base as well, always being honest and taking the high road. They continually remind employees how much they are appreciated verbally as well as monetarily. That being said, they have been in business for almost 25 years (currant owners took it over in 1998) and they have plenty of experience to keep the business growing strong. I have peace in knowing that the company I work for will continue to grow stronger each year and can survive a devastating market crash resulting in an economic depression. They are very smart about growth and expanding their abilities slowly and carefully, they have achieved a higher skillset in doing so. I could not ask for a kinder, more honest and thoughtful family to work with. I honestly feel like a part of their family.

Kontras

As with any remodeling business... While very exciting and rewarding, it can be stressful. The work life balance below is what you make of it. It's all about time management and some of us are not as good at that.
