Management does a poor job of sticking to promises kept. You will always have to “figure it out” when it comes to work that’s not in your scope. Salesman don’t know how to read a tape measure to save their life and results in many issues and some flat out lie to customers to get the sale and they don’t face any punishment, in fact they are praised for selling so much. When you bring these issues to management you’re told to be more of a team player. The salsemen make more in commission than you do installing. While you get paid 8% which sounds nice but A) isn’t industry standard and B) if you have to pull off the job you don’t get paid for it. They say they give you a raise of .25% to .5%  every six months if you perform well and your cap is 10%, but if your customers are very happy with the shower you installed management probably won’t be and that dings you when it comes to raises. I was there 8 months and never had my meeting. They’ll also tell you it’s local or “try to keep you local” but they go a do targeted sales in Bellingham and the surrounding areas. While the majority of installers live in Tacoma. But management lives north so their installs are close. Also you will have to purchase all your own tools which is a hefty amount. Also if there’s anything that’s needed for a job and it wasn’t supplied and was one of the issues you had to “figure out” you’d have to head to a hardware store and purchase it with your own money. And they might reimburse you.

All in all if you’re looking for a job where your input and time isn’t valued apply here. If not stay away.

Poor leads, majority of leads in Albuquerque and surrounding areas do not qualify / pass the credit program and the cheapest remodel is starting at 15 K, the high cost is unknown to the prospects leaving majority of them jaw dropped shocked when the price is given. New company owners are not qualified to run this type of business, its a franchise style company & it’s commission only no salary and no mileage reimbursement or vehicle allowance many appointments are over 100 miles away, majority are even further up to 300-400 miles away and many appointments are just customers getting quotes especially if it’s a home insurance claim, Bath Planet is one of the highest rates and sales are scarce in New Mexico. If you do close a sale the commission is good but sales are far & in between. Leads were not evenly distributed to the small sales team made up of 3 men. Also no background is ran on the prospects so you are entering homes of unknown people it’s a stretch but most horrific crimes are not usually expected. The worst is the long distance appointments because if they don’t buy you not only wasted time but gas & wear /tear on your vehicle these appointments are weekly too at least 3-4 a week divided among the sales team but most teams are 2-3 people so your likely traveling once weekly more if anyone is on PTO

We have been a Bath Planet dealer for over a year.  Our experience has been completely positive – from comprehensive training and support in all aspects of marketing to exemplary customer service.  Homeowners have consistently provided positive feedback regarding the beauty and quality of the Bath Planet products we install in their homes.

Bath Planet’s ordering and shipping process has been simple and reliable.  The Bath Planet staff provides effective communication to keep us abreast of any changes and handles any problems that arise efficiently.  On the rare occasion when we had a product defect, Bath Planet replaced it immediately, so that our customer could begin to enjoy their remodeled bathroom with only a couple of days delay.

While our company has focused on making homes more energy-efficient for over thirty years, adding the Bath Planet products to our repertoire has been a huge plus for our business and our customers, especially those needing greater accessibility in the bath.  We will heartily recommend Bath Planet and their products to any construction/remodeling company that wishes to expand their product line into wet-area bathroom remodels.

I was their top producer for the 4 months I worked there. Never received the 1% commission  on completed jobs because they are 4 to 6 months out to complete a job. I won a contest and 7 weeks later I still was not paid. They refused to pay me after I quit and also withheld hourly pay after I left.
Pay is by direct deposit. Pay stubs are given out a week or two later, sometimes even more. Very difficult to determine hours paid, expenses reimbursed and bonuses.
The work schedule is posted the Wednesday before the weekend. You cannot plan any personal time off unless you advise the manager 2 weeks in advance.
Lots of driving - up to 1 1/2 hours to events. Parking is NOT reimbursed. Manuel says you are expected to walk up to 1 mile from where you park. Mileage reimbursement starts after the first 20 miles.
One manager is great, the other is on an ego trip. Training consists of weekly repetitive, boring meetings (for some) detailing the knowledge of products over, and over and over. No employee assistance to better your performance.
Sad, because I really enjoyed my position and working with customers. They tell you they are rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau, but they are not even members.

My experience working with Bath Planet has been a pretty positive one. I work in the office which is a very positive and productive working environment. Everyone from the owner, to the sales reps/sales team and the installers are all a joy and amazing people to work with. Everyone here has great customer service and the customers always seem to be pleased with each employee they encounter throughout the whole process. I believe this is a great place to work if you are interested in being part of a productive team and a team who has a great attitude regardless of the situation at hand. 
Regarding Bath Planet Corporate, they have always been extremely helpful whenever I have had a question or concern. The management and customer service reps are extremely knowledgeable about their products and are always available and willing to help solve any issue, problem, or concern that you might have. Regardless of the amount of questions I have asked the management over at corporate always answered them completely and professionally with just the right amount of detail to help me understand.

We became a Bath Planet dealer 18 months ago and it was one of our best business decisions. The corporate office really does care about the customers, their employees and the independent dealers.  Each Bath Planet dealer is an independently owned and operated company but the corporate office takes this business very seriously.  They support us as a dealer to the highest level we have ever experienced from any supplier.  They also stand behind the products.  As a newer dealer, we have encountered a few issues from installations from before we were a part of the organization.  The company stood behind it 100% and did whatever was necessary to take care of the customers.  Every single person at the corporate office from the highest level of management to the people who answer the phones and work in the warehouse are proud to work for this organization and care about the customers.  The support is really tremendous, the products are outstanding and  we are very happy and proud to represent this terrific product line.

The people there always seem upset or just having a bad day.. til there's no point in speaking to anybody unless it's work related. The company is not as small as it looks, they have a wide range of employees that get no benefits unless your have a meaningful career with the company. Anyone who works here has to have tough skin, if u THINK u do, u really don't because u have to know for a facts that you do. The list goes on and on, I have 5 yrs to vent about but that's another story. Anywho the company is also not very colorful or a happy place, if u need benefits this is not the place to apply, there's no love here unless u love money which will also depend on how u sell urself for the position.. just know u can't have em both (love/happiness) feel like you are worth something to the company

Sounds promising! They will try to initially low ball you the rate in the ad. You will travel ALL over the place, you don't clock in so the event coordinator "keeps track" of all your hours. It's not just a weekend job they have events on the week they will try to ask you to work. Very unorganized, you can't get in the events, parking isn't comped like they said. A lot of pressure to reach quota.. If the appointments  don't seal the deal.. Your butt is on the chopping block. Constant micro managing. You are not allowed to sit, you can have a 10 minute break here and there. WATCH YOUR MONEY. I'm now clueless on what I received for the hours I worked... Please be careful, it's nice part time if you have a job but not full time because it's an independent contractor.. So no taxes are taken out at the end of the year.

Outside sales position visiting on average 2 customers a day to assess current bathroom space and discuss customer wants and needs in terms of new bathroom design for bathroom remodel project.

A tailored product presentation was then pitched to customer along with product benefits, warranties etc..

Over all project proposal was completed and presented to customer while in the home.

Best part of the job was the freedom you had because you did not have to report to an office.  Just 1 x to attend monthly office meetings. You submit all of your deals via home office.

Hard part was not closing deals as this is a 100% commission position and company was pretty awful at offering ZERO bonus incentives or gas cards to reps to keep them motivated. Also not enough leads coming in per week to allow rep to make a six figure income.

Call it growing pains of starting a brand new office but from day 1 things were way off..no one from the first training class made it past two months…extremely high turnover rate…Never was sent to a factory or any sort to gain knowledge of your product…want you to learn on the fly which is fine but not if expected to have a close rate of 40%…they’re just looking for golden salesman with slick tongues or young kids they can groom to teach their tricks….
Office is run by snobby kids who have shown production at a prior company but have ZERO knowledge or experience about leadership and communication….
Also, get ready to have these managers pull a fast one on you when it comes to leads…as money hungry as these kids in charge are you can’t expect them to be fair with you.
Too many things have to fall in place to be successful here and it starts with having a fair and experienced manager.
