RH Assistant Manager reviews

Cons: Everything else about the company.... Let's start with the "core values" that the company proudly preaches and stands behind. Their core values are: People, Quality, Service and Innovation. They use these "values" against their employees during review time or when enforcing policy or correcting performance but not to actually create a healthy store environment or support the employee working experience. They have created a cult-like company culture that is highly excluding/discriminatory to many good, qualified and talented employees both potential employees through an overly drawn out hiring process and to current employees that don't "fit in" with their core values. One of the company slogans is "there's no school for cool" in their words in an employee handout, "there's no school for cool: either you're cool or you're not, we don't teach cool..." The idea of an inclusive workplace does not exist at R.H. Next would be absolutely no work-life balance. Salaried managers are expected to work as many hours as needed to cover the store. This becomes especially ridiculous when they allow the store to fall well below management census sometimes having only 2 managers employed in one store for several months at a time. Expect to work 60-70 hours easily if you are salaried. Lastly this company is an H.R. nightmare. Policy is subjective and favoritism is common. Disciplinary action is inconsistent at best.

Restoration Hardware thinks that it is something that it is not. It describes itself as a cutting edge interior design company, when really it is just a furniture store at a mall. The quality of the pieces are not worth as much money as they charge, and the whole attitude of the company tends to attract rude customers. They don't hire enough staff to carry the work load, and the upper management is sneaky and tends to do things to benefit only the management while hurting the rest of the staff. I couldn't get out from under this company fast enough.
