Former management
Long-term staff
The product and its heritage
Cons
Tenured, dedicated employees dismissed for no apparent reason.
Fear-based management used to squelch dissent.
Changing focus to be strictly on sales without the design basis the company was founded upon.
Communication has virtually stopped from the parent company.
The cabinetry is a great product and easy to sell. The company started with good design philosophies that made for great kitchens. There was some flexibility in work schedule.
Cons
Corporate keeps an iron fist on most showrooms and creates lots of red-tape to getting commissions. There's a high turn-over rate in an effort to keep compensation down. The subsequent generations of cabinetry design were harder to design with and harder to sell.
