Business outlook

Pros

Well known name in a niche market, lots of challenging and interesting work yet to be done. If you treat this purely as an opportunity to learn, and ok with average/below average rewards, then you hit the jackpot.

Cons

Leadership is very conservative when it comes to investing money, premature focus on profitability before hitting the growth phase, and senior leadership doesn't follow trust and delegate. So they tend to focus only on one area, which inevitably results in other areas regressing, and the leadership then reactively switches focus, and so on.

Houzz Response

Thank you for sharing. I agree that we have interesting work ahead of us and are well positioned in the market! Also I appreciate your constructive feedback. If you are comfortable reaching out, I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you in more depth about your concerns , and how we can improve as a leadership team.
