    Overpriced crazy house :/
    The good thingsNo good things - Unless of course you count being able to drive by yourself in horror after hearing the customers tell you how theyve been waiting months & months for their blinds.
    The challengesConstant yelling from customers from customers due to the lack of coordination or communication from upper management, promises of 80,000+ salary - barely making that due to management favouring certain installers. the place is a shambles & i dont know how it still turns a profit to this day! Nice to see the boss with his Porsche though :)

    Stressful and frustrating and no support your just a number .
    The good thingsNo Weekends or late nights which is good for your family
    The challengesThe challenge in this job was no support from the back end and the sales consultants most of them are rude and belittling. The customers are always complaining and upset and not happy as they are constantly waiting for their blinds etc . They don’t care about their customers .

    Great and a fun place to work
    The good thingsExcellent place to work with supportive management team that brings the best in you.
    The challengesProvides an opportunity to take on broader responsibilities than your position description. But considering the fact every individual and their needs are different, if you are someone who is just focusing on doing daily routine work, opportunities may be limited.

    There was a fair level of trust from management who gave me the ability to solve problems within a team, also independently. I didn't feel \"baby sat\" which helped in creating an equal team environment. Support from management was still there when needed.
    The good thingsFast paced environment - I was never bored, good training, approachable management, close team environment, great work space and enough flexibility to have a fair work/life balance.
    The challengesHigh volume of customers and work load which made customer complaints sometimes challenging to resolve.

    Work here only if you have very VERY low expectations
    The good thingsThe only good thing is the pay rate and a couple of the casual girls who I got along well with (they know who they are). The installers are all wonderful to deal with and they treat me well, despite having one of the toughest jobs in the company.
    The challengesBeing put-down constantly by self-entitled customers, no support at all from management. My managers never asked how I was, and barely ever said hello or even looked at me. You are left to work by yourself, and never appreciated for the long hours and work you put in to this company. Expect people to handball jobs off, and things to get left unattended for up to a month. The other girls that work here are expected to cover shifts, not management. A couple of full-time girls consistently take sickies and in any other work place, they would get fired... here it is overlooked and considered normal. This means you will get calls on your day off before 8am expecting you to drop everything and get to work to cover a full day. Lastly, a few of the consultants are extremely rude and very hard to deal with (which is weird considering we give them all of their work). In short, you are just another number to this place. I handed in my resignation and did not even hear a word from any of the managers.
