Pros

Commission is good if you make a sale

Cons

2 times a week you have to drive to Philadelphia or Harrisburg for pointless sales meetings. No millage reburstment. They say in the interview you need to close at 33% and you will get at least 6 or more appointments a week and you should sell. They say that at 9pm the night before you will get your appointments for the next day. Which is a lie you will get a phone call in the morning or the middle of the day or night to drive 2 hours. And they only give you 2 to 3 appointments a week. And you only get paid when you sell. I know people that work in other companies like them and they run at least 9 appointment a week and sale at least 3 to 5 that stick. Kitchen saver will set you up to fail. None of the customers is pre qualified. You get someone to buy and then the bank turns them down. So not only do you drive 2hrs away from your home but spend 4 to 6 hours in someone's house hoping you sell them. Because you need gas and toll money which can add up to 100 plus dollars a day not including your Bill's . If you want to get into this business go to Sears, home depot, kitchen magic. This places makes you sign a contract which means you can't work for anyone that would be competitive with them or there other companies like bath fitter,homespires, they do bathrooms,windows,doors,kitchen, plumbing. Or you will be sued.

Pros

Good pay for the sales reps, much of which is up front. Good product for the price point. Top performers are pretty well left alone.

Cons

Family owned can be good and family owned can be bad. There is low value placed on the humans who work for this company. What is said in a public format vs. what is said and done in private are two different things. There is an arrogance that permeates through out this organization that you don't see right away. If you sell at an extremely high level, you can get away with almost anything. It is difficult to lead others with a known double standard amongst the reps.

Pros

Over the span of my 34 years working, my last 14 years at Kitchen Saver have been my best! The owner, Brett Cohen, is dedicated to his employee’s well-being and growth. I always feel that I get back exactly what I put into my job through gratitude and appreciation. Brett has said many times, “The secret to providing 5-star customer service is to treat your employees like Gold, so they treat your customers like Diamonds.” Brett demonstrates his employee gold standard in a multitude of ways. Through his open-door policy and willingness to help with a difficult problem. His belief in providing opportunities for advancement and growth with paid training and bringing in outside consultants. And simply through the genuine interest he takes in his employees’ lives by remembering personal details or issues they are working through outside of work. Brett’s employee appreciation philosophy trickles down through the entire company and has created a wonderful company culture at Kitchen Saver.

Cons

The seasonality of the work. There can be very busy and then very slow periods.
