They also valued the teamwork and support among colleagues, with staff helping each other out and contributing to the smooth running of the stores.

However, there were some potential challenges, such as staffing and training issues, with some employees lacking strong interior skills or being underqualified for their roles. Additionally, employees mentioned high workloads and demands, including meeting deadlines, out-of-hours working, and high presentation standards. With the change in ownership, there was also uncertainty about the future of the company, and some stores were described as being in disarray."}},"shouldShowAISummary":true,"salaryRanges":{"lastUpdated":"2 Apr 2026","salaryRangeByRoles":[]},"randomCompaniesInThisIndustry":[{"name":"Pet Circle","slug":"pet-circle-948182","id":"948182"},{"name":"A1 Blinds","slug":"a1-blinds-988678","id":"988678"},{"name":"Acorn Stairlifts","slug":"acorn-stairlifts-816575","id":"816575"},{"name":"Enfini Pty Ltd","slug":"enfini-pty-ltd-160401666929314","id":"160401666929314"},{"name":"Howards Storage World","slug":"howards-storage-world-433586","id":"433586"},{"name":"Bay Leather Republic","slug":"bay-leather-republic-436939","id":"436939"},{"name":"Minkz Furniture & Homewares","slug":"minkz-furniture-n-homewares-797602","id":"797602"},{"name":"Vogue Spas & Bathrooms","slug":"vogue-spas-n-bathrooms-174406361295623","id":"174406361295623"},{"name":"Amart Furniture","slug":"amart-furniture-433129","id":"433129"},{"name":"Nu Style Shutters","slug":"nu-style-shutters-943438","id":"943438"},{"name":"Logans Nursery","slug":"logans-nursery-165370330065033","id":"165370330065033"},{"name":"Kresta Blinds","slug":"kresta-blinds-436786","id":"436786"},{"name":"Videopro","slug":"videopro-834508","id":"834508"}],"shouldIndex":false,"shouldShowErrorPage":false,"reviews":{"rating":{"average":3.5,"count":11},"reviews":[{"schemaVersion":"1.0.0","title":"Wonderful store to work in ","createdAt":"19 Jan 2021","pros":"Great staff and management .
