Pros

Nice products and showrooms, high value sales allow you to earn good commission.

Cons

Restrictive design process, not much support offered, bare minimum company benefits such as holidays, pension, mat/pat & sick pay. No company car or car allowance, hardly even enough to cover mileage. Company expects you to go above and beyond and dedicate all your time to the job.

Pros

Nice people to work with

Cons

Awful pay, no proper salary increase - you're lucky to get £2k. Kitchen designers are bullies and badly trained.
