Pros
Used to be paid well.... Commission has been changed yet again. So those who are good at their jobs have taken a massive pay cut. You learn to have thick skin, you have to if you're going to get through the day under some of the senior managers. I feel bad for the showroom managers, they take a beating from higher up everyday.
Cons
Bullying is brushed under the carpet... If you are a big seller then 'it's ok' to push the rest of the team around, bully the management and generally be a complete idiot. Despite building up years of experience, you can still be sacked for not selling enough. Consistently average isn't good enough. Never step up to management! Massive pay cut from (a high hitting) designer and not worth it considering the agro that comes from above.... Nothing walks, get the sales, do what it takes.... What happened to improving customer service, standards and letting the great feedback do the selling? No work life balance.
