If you are reading this, you may be tempted to work at RH. You will read the reviews and scoff, thinking they are the bitter ravings of disgruntled employees.
Dear Reader, they are not. It truly is a cult that will try to break down your spirit and remake you into a Stepford Associate. You can do better.
They will tell you that they want people with a Point of View. If you give them a point of view at odds with what Gary Freidman has told them to believe, you will find yourself in their office with them inches from your face telling you that you don't exhibit the RH "Values". They will manipulate you and make you feel that you should be grateful for washing the toilets or vacuuming their office.
The main manager is the head of the cult. She is vindictive and the main cult facilitator. Watch her face when she talks about Gary Freidman. It's scary. When you have to all start clapping in unison at the Values Meetings, you will know.
The actual job would be fine if you weren't watched, hounded and grilled by management. They present themselves as being all about design, but really it's all about what you sold that day.
The hypocrisy will wear you down. The comments about your clothes or makeup will make you feel either bad or angry. When they insult the people who wisely move on, as "low energy" or "they just aren't the right people", you will realize that they are going to say the same about you when you leave.
You are a mere cog in the machine. You aren't a person to them at all.
Is this the kind of place that you want to spend 9 hours a day at?
