Houzz Employee Reviews about "low pay"

Pros

- definitely the people. The team I worked for was amazing, I met many talented, helpful co-workers, and experienced managers. I made some life long friends at Houzz - top-notch recruiting team makes the interview process easy and smooth - many company small events, parties and team outings - catering meals and full stocked kitchens are great

Cons

- low pay compares to other companies in the same city - negative HR experience, I had a hard time to verify my employment at Houzz for my next position - lack of transparency as many other reviews said - company's goal was constantly changing

Pros

-amazing benefits -fun company culture - work with great people... everyone they hire really is young, nice and fun - no college degree required - free breakfast/lunches , fully stocked kitchen -amazing schedule (east coast hours) - always encouraged to use PTO - VP of sales is fun with great energy - great operations team that is always putting on team and office-wide events

Cons

- no opportunity to work from home - for orange county and the type of position, its low pay (not making money like the "good old days" (4-5 years ago at Houzz) - daily "huddles" where you have small talk with your team - overly recycled leads - goals often seem out of reach (there are new plans in place to help with this) - management (sales managers/director) are very clicky... same type of people always seem to get promoted - not much diversity within the office

Pros

Lunch on Fridays . Breakfasts are hit or miss. They’ll feed you something good one week then three weeks later turn around and serve oatmeal or cold cereal or fruit.

Cons

Everything. Low pay, no opportunity for advancement, makes you compete for 1 promotion every year and a half. Houzz fixes everything with food instead of actual resolutions . They’ll feed you doughnuts till you die instead of hiring managers with experience and personality and the ability to lead through inspiration. I cannot tell you how drained I am after trying my best for so long only to be turned down for promotions and opportunities for some arbitrary canned reason. This place is extremely cliquey . They are like high school girls who decide who is cool and who isn’t. Congratulations if you get to be the prom queen, but in the real world the people who get promoted are promoted on merit, integrity, and performance. Not at Houzz though. Just pretend you love The Office and can’t wait to show everyone pictures of your dog and you’ll be a shoe in for a promotion in no time. Just smile and nod and never ever question anything. They want people who drink the koolaid, they’re not interested in actual feedback.

Pros

Growing company and good product

Cons

Lack of leadership, employees don't feel valued, high turnover, and low pay.

Pros

There are no pros working for this company

Cons

Low pay, outrageous goals, micromanagement

Pros

Beautiful office, young employees, lots of perks

Cons

Lack of diversity, low pay, poor management, no upward mobility, no salary negotiation. They say we are family, but that just gives them permission to expect everything of you without anything in return.
