It’s okay - Interior Designer Havenly Employee Review

- Flexibility - Independence - Designer Support

- Low Pay - No Room for Advancement

- Work from home on a mostly flexible schedule - Good for early career or even design students to build a portfolio and client experience.

- Extremely low pay. Project-based, not hourly. No additional pay for bigger projects or picky clients who want unlimited redesigns. When you do get commission, it's at extremely low rates, 1%-5%. However, there were frequent problems with orders that are part of the system you have no control over, which meant clients canceled and decided they wouldn't buy anything through the platform again, and you got no commission, even though they still asked for ongoing support and resourcing for out-of-stock items. My average hourly rate worked out to about $15, including base pay and commissions. - Tight deadlines and required continuous client onboarding, so not a low-key side hustle. - No career growth opportunities. - No benefits. (unless you count discounted furniture, but with that salary, you still can't afford most of the things you want)
