Pros

The only thing Restoration Hardware does well is hite over qualified people.

Cons

Everything from: Not enough staff It's cult like values messages Keeping people who are terrible at their jobs Telling people it's a design firm rather then retail venue, designers join the team and do nothing but sell There is no service past the sales floor, once it is sold no one cares, delivery is terrible and wrong on a consistent basis There is no commission, even the weakest link is helped, no drive to sell more Middle management are treated like slaves, have no guidance or training

Pros

Trauma bonding with your team.

Cons

Leadership has no pulse on reality. They put business need and dictator-like decision making in front of work/life balance and what’s right. Instead of using the plethora of experience on their teams to help create and execute fair and equitable solutions to grow the culture and business, alike; they force positional changes, demand that serving staff supplement the income of other support positions and refuse to uphold any of the values and foundations the culture is allegedly built around.
