Pros
Progressive company that makes positive changes to keep current with market trends. Consultants are paid some of the highest commission rates in the industry, and they pay at time of sale rather than on delivered sales. Very important when you are starting your sales cycle. Well defined policies and guidelines throughout the company. Also a diverse work force with great opportunities for women to advance. Quick Team meetings every morning for clear communications, and training 1-2 times per week to stay current on product and process information. If you love being creative and working with a team, this is an excellent place to thrive. My earnings averaged $75,000/annually and ranged from $60,000 to $110,000 per year. Since this is a vertically integrated company, clients cannot buy on line or at another retailer.
Cons
You just have to be able to accept that some clients will walk away from your designs and may choose to purchase somewhere else. It takes a lot of energy and a really positive outlook to ride through the highs and lows of commissioned sales.
