I know, using a Clueless quote for the title seems a bit trivial, but that is honestly the best way I can describe the environment at Houzz at this point in the game. I have been here for a couple of years and have gotten used to going with the flow and riding the changes wave. Whether that is related to the comp plan, new seating situation/team shift, or how Winter Wonderland is structured. I absolutely understand that in order to stay relevant as a business, we have to change. I get that, we all get that... However, there are so many fundamental problems and I don't see a feasible solution. Firstly, let me start by saying how wonderful and inspiring the CEO is. She has worked so hard and has so much passion for Houzz and her vision of it being the best home design ever. Unfortunately, a few people in upper management with their lack of experience and little respect for the worker-bees are compromising this great product. I would prefer not to have to repeat all the same complaints listed in some of the other reviews as I'm sure most get the point when they look at Glassdoor. We are grotesquely underpaid. I would understand a low salary if we were in truly performance based commission roles. Let's face it, it's not performance based anymore. Our concerns are not being addressed by the same said people people in upper management which is causing some of the lowest morale I have ever seen in a workplace. It's clear that Houzz does not care if good employees leave and little is being done to retain those of us still here.
