Closets by Design Employer Reviews

A typical day at work is loading the van, driving (usually an hour or more) to site, collecting payment first (which angers most customers), then start installing the unit(s). Run into designer miscalculations and design flaws, stop, assess, fix and continue with install. This company has nothing to offer as far as learning and has zero room for advancement. – more... The most enjoyable part of the day is leaving to go home. – less

the best part about this job is having an open schedule and not sitting behind a desk all day :)
unfortunately the negatives greatly outweigh that.
You are sent all over the city with no "territory" and no gas compensation. As with most commission only jobs you only get paid when you sell and discounting for customers or anyones mistakes come out of – more... your pay. Checks are often incorrect and they jump at the chance to pay you less than you deserve.
You will be made promises that are not kept (benefits, gas compensation) and the blame for issues will be put on you and only you.
You are essentially an independent contractor and it feels like you are owning a small business with little to no support from the office or "team"
The owner may be bipolar, so you never know what response you will get from him.
If/when sales goals are not met, you will be threatened with termination. – less

A typical day at work is usually one appointment per day, 12 to 15 per month. I learned how to design, and sell custom storage solutions, as well as manage accounts after installation.

Management was excellent, in the sense that they did whatever they could to help you close the sale, as well as ensure 100% client satisfaction with a quality product.

Co-workers – more... were open to helping however they could, whenever asked, and everyone met at sales meetings once per month, at company headquarters to discuss the previous month.

The hardest part of the job was competing with other companies, as there are many of them in the area. Closets by Design is the best quality, so it is not always the least expensive quote a customer will receive. Customers will also try to compare quotes on a design with another company that is less expensive, not understanding that a more complex design, will cost them more money.

The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing the designs after they are installed, and the excitement from the client. – less

out of business due to lack of experience by franchisee. however good potential for someone who has some basic knowledge of industry. Not a very recession proof business, when times get tough business goes away

Wonderful Christian couple owned this company. Understanding yet firm, playful yet disciplined.
