Pros

Commute was close to my house. I met a few people who were nice and hard working. The company seemed to make clients happy from what I could tell.

Cons

This was the worse job I ever had. It wasn't the work that was bad but it was the people. The owner is a real jerk. He was rude and he did not treat people with respect. He seemed to be harder on office women then men. Most people there seemed miserable but they didn't know wht to do because they needed the job. I left after a few months because life is to short to deal with a tyrant. I was always on time and did what I was told but management and the owner acted like I was beneath them. People talk about the owner behind his back but he thinks he's the best and everyone else is crazy.

Pros

Working at Timberlane has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The company strikes a rare balance between honoring tradition and pushing innovation. From our heritage in luxury exterior shutters and garage doors to the new product lines and digital transformation projects, there’s a true sense of pride in craftsmanship and excellence here. Leadership genuinely values employee input and encourages creativity. The marketing, sales, and product teams collaborate closely, and there’s real investment in technology—from AI-driven tools to Shopify migration—that makes our jobs more efficient and future-focused. It feels like you’re part of something that’s growing and constantly improving. The culture is supportive, professional, and team-oriented. Whether you’re in the shop building shutters or in the office developing strategy, there’s a shared commitment to delivering “the world’s finest shutters.” The company also cares about community impact, with meaningful initiatives like historic restoration partnerships and donations.

Cons

Like any company growing and innovating quickly, things move fast—adaptability is important.

Pros

- Salesforce and Hubspot are great & not always available at all sales jobs - management wants you to succeed and they are transparent with you - frequent trainings

Cons

- trainings can be very hyperfocused on exact verbage and you kind of are lead down the path of using a script when speaking with customers - training is limited to you and your business director, the online modules are only revolving around product knowledge - management is heavily monitoring your output so you have to log your activities by 1pm and again at 3 or 5pm daily - salary is basic minimum and commission % is minimal
