The Wild Wild West of the Mattress World - Anonymous employee Resident Employee Review

Imagine working for a company who has no idea where they’re going, how they’ll get there, or why. Working for Resident for a year, was a year of trying to connect the dots, ease dropping in the office to make sure you knew what was launching (and when it was “probably” going to launch) and trying to keep up with a group of people who didn’t want to talk to one another. The three most important things to make a company thrive are missing: communication, transparency, and gratitude for people who go above and beyond. Resident promotes a culture that (thought they) thrived on changing priorities on almost a daily basis, belittling others publicly on slack, and putting people on a pedestal who didn’t follow process or do things correctly. Employees are undervalued on every team, projects are left incomplete, and timelines are nonexistent, everything is always ASAP. Organization and communication are lacking on every project, or launch, it’s like they think organization isn’t necessary. I haven’t ever been lucky enough to work in such a toxic environment that it brought people together because of it. The blood, sweat and tears actually brought out the good in other coworkers, and I’ll have these friends for life and I am forever thankful for them.
