Pros

Store locations ar enjoyable and customers spend good money which translates to frequent tips

Cons

Management is A MESS. Owner in way over their head and becomes paranoid leading to threats, scoldings, disrespect, and accusations. High employee turn over rate, entire staff was fired or quit in a couple months and then the new staff had the exact same fate. Owner will fire or threaten to fire employees for minuscule reasons. Employee's crying at work. Owner’s character is short tempered and petty like a mean girls table in high school. Poor employee training leading to struggling business.

You have to stop coming on here as different positions that don’t exist at each location just to berate me because I terminated you back in July last year. The company and myself do not stand for people in the company that purposely cause issues with other employees. You constantly were causing drama over things that were unnecessary and so so minor. It’s time to stop now because it’s now almost 9 months after you’ve been terminated and you’ve gone on every site possible to personally defame me. I would say your name but then this response would be removed. And please stop wearing your company tshirt around town as if you still work for us. It’s extremely disturbing.

Pros

Good location with nice customers.

Cons

Absolutely disgusting attitude towards all employees from the owner. A complete mean girl. She will run you dry and make problems out of thin air. Threatens legal action for any bad talk about the company and for that reason anyone is scared to say anything. Just look how she replies to negative reviews and you can see for yourself. This company won’t be around long. Zero kindness and compassion. No respect.

Our Newport store hasn’t been around since June 2024 (so I don’t know who’d write this a year later), but our design studio continues to flourish! Thanks for your review! You’re welcome to apply at our design studio (that’s been around for 14 years) if you’d like 😊
