SHIPPING RECEIVING MANAGER (Former Employee), Palo Alto, CA – May 23, 2012
Pros: enjoyable customer interactions
Cons: changing corporate culture.
The position began very well. The work was engaging and the company was quirky and interesting. The culture of the company changed over time and it became less rewarding.
Laborer (Former Employee), Mira Loma, CA – May 21, 2012

Restoration Hardware was a good company to work with. Not hard to get along with Management or co-workers,. job is fair and pay is good. All around good company.
Operations (Former Employee), Headquarters, Corte Madera, CA – May 21, 2012
Pros: decent pay and benefits
Cons: vastly overpaid, incompetent executive team
Other than the decent salary and benefits, this company is one of the worst in the entire Bay Area. If you have an opportunity to work ANYPLACE else, do that instead.
All of the talented employees have already left, so the people who are still at the headquarters are the ones who kiss up to the Ralph Lauren wannabe CEO. Everyone fakes a supportive – more... atmosphere while they totally undermine one another. Incredibly poisonous! – less

Design Associate (Current Employee), Red Bank, NJ – April 29, 2012
Pros: values / supportive staff
Cons: retail / retail pay
Nothing speaks louder than working for a company who is value based from the very top to the very bottom. Working as a team, working for people who inspire you every day to exceed your potential.
Upbeat work environment with friendly helpful staff
Stock Associate (Current Employee), Seattle, WA – April 10, 2012
Pros: flexible scheduling
Cons: inconsistent hours for part-time employees
Management and staff is respectful and caring. Great sense of community and socialization outside of work. Stock room organized neatly and efficiently, and communication between stock team and sales team is top notch.
customer service (Former Employee), Tracy, Ca – March 9, 2012
This is my worst experience with a company that I applied the job with. In my interview the HR said that I am hired and was given the job letter. I than started with the training and was let go after a few days since I just missed by a few marks in the assessment. I requested to take the test again but I couldn't. They hired more than 35 people and – more... most of them together with me were let go. We were never told that this is not a permanent position. We were given employee numbers and punch in cards just like a regular employees. We also got introduced to the management and were told in which teams are we going to be in. The training wasn't sufficient for the test at all. Everyone beware from Restoration Hardware Inc because you will be wasting your time. They will give you false hope of employment. – less
Interesting and fun place to work. Great customers.
Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee), Dallas, Texas – February 15, 2012
Pros: high quality product
Cons: not much management support
Restoration Hardware has demanding expectations and is a great place to learn how to manage and maintain visual standards. The product is expensive, but of the highest quality.
Great products, in transition with new product lines
Sales Associate (Former Employee), New York, NY – February 15, 2012
Pros: great team spirit with staff
Cons: huge staff turnover constantly, inappropriate salaries, no health benefits benefits
Restoration Hardware doesn't need an introduction. The new image and product line has taken the country by storm. The ultra fast growth occurred before new systems could be put into place to manage the huge upsurge in demand.
Sr. Director, eCommerce (Former Employee), Corte Madera, CA – January 16, 2012
Pros: work-life balance, company products and stability
Cons: lack of technology innovation
This was a good place to work overall. The company is stable and you have good work-life balance -- and they produce great home products. However, as a technologist it doesn't offer a lot of innovation compared to the rest of the industry.
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Yonge Street Toronto, Ontario – November 11, 2011
Pros: every morning meetings, we would have games related to core values, or getting to know you!
Cons: no promising full time job
The store has a homey and friendly environment. It caters to high end customers in majority who understands the beauty of restored furnishings with taste. Training was very good on how to meet the changing demands of our customers. They had product knowledge catalogues for us to learn & most of their Senior Employees were very generous helping us with – more... the products, placing orders & more. RH owns a wonderful core values that reflects their employees who had worked with them for many years. And new ones whether full-timer or part- timer have to learn the corporate values. I enjoyed entertaining our customer's "furry children" who shops along with them and alot of them. So we made sure that we have on stock of pet treats by the register. It was a wonderful experience working with RH even for a few months. – less
