Pros

-My Peers. I have met some of my best friends while working with RH. In fact, it is the only reason that many of us stay with the company. Great people work here. -Scheduled raises. A "step-up" program makes for set-raises for the first year of employment, and continued raises based on the quality of your work take place each year thereafter. -Health Benefits. RH contributes far more than many other companies, leaving our portion affordable. There are also 3 benefit plans to choose from.

Cons

Unfortunately, the negative far outweigh the positive. If it wasn't for my peers, I would definitely be working somewhere else, along with many of fellow co-workers. -Management. Many of them do not understand the basic job, and look to their team for help. Then they continue to micro-manage as their main daily activity. In addition, policies change so often that can be difficult to keep track of. -Cleanliness. Our buildings have had major bug infestation problems. We get bug bites often, and cockroaches are visibly seen daily in our office and lunch room. Half the building stays sick at all times. -Work-life balance. 5-8 times per year the company require overtime for 2 weeks. This is about 16 weeks of the year, and it always occurs during major holidays, such as Christmas. Although many employees want the overtime, they require every single employee to partake. Vacation time is accrued at a very slow pace, and you cannot request time off unless you have the vacation hours already accrued. You are allotted 5 minutes per day to use the restroom. Use it any longer, and you are written up.

Pros

The only thing somewhat neat about Resto is the design and furniture that you can immerse yourself in when you are given a shift to work. The people that are conned into working at the store level (in non mgmt.) positions are fantastic. But they soon too fizzle in enthusiasm once the hype wears off. This is a great job if you are a student looking for a position where you can work with amazing people, network and meet amazing clients, but knows that this is not your career because no one wants to waste their lives working so hard when you cant even move up in this company.

Cons

Where do you start. I noticed a few reviews coming in where person were very ecstatic in regards to working at Resto and placing the negative review on the person who left insinuating that the person was not the "right fit". Which I would say Bravo as this is, invoking the Core Values People Asset to a tee. Using the core values as a way to manipulate any situation to Restos advantage and not actually seeing it for the true meaning which is people are any companys greatest asset. Happy people. People who are treated with respect and dignity and that their effort and contribution to a company is well worth it. I would say that the biggest fault with Resto is its lack of respect for its employees and this smoke and mirrors game of letting the employee think you are making a difference or etc. Do not work here if you want a career. You are kept in the mud and never allowed to take that initiative or be that entrepreneur they ask you to be. Do not work here if you enjoy having a life. Only hiring part time but then demanding full, complete availability is unacceptable. Bottom line is you are worked to the bone, critiqued on your appearance, design skills and towel folding techniques. You are asked to maintain a store to pristine conditions while understaffed and expected to hit high unrealistic sales quotas.

Pros

I cannot point to one positive element at the company.

Cons

From the people to the "core values" the company operates by saying things that sound good in theory but are the antithesis of its operational practices. Lookism, racism, ageism and greed are the actual values, as judged from its practices.
