Pros

RH has well-designed, beautiful product. Good place to learn some skills for a short period of time. Health benefits are good.

Cons

I would not recommend working for RH at the gallery level. The environment is extremely unhealthy by the way people are managed. The turnover is very high. The culture is very cult-like. They constantly repeat their "values" that they do not follow and instead use them to dismiss concerns. There is no real accessible HR department. If you have concerns, it is practically impossible to voice them professionally or privately. There is no 401K match and they give most people tiny raises and rarely bonuses - if ever. It is a retail environment, not a design firm with little room to grow as a designer. You cannot purse certification, and in many ways it feels like a set back to work for RH too long.

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.
