Pros

Good swag and nice office with lots of plants

Cons

- High school level drama and cliques create a toxic environment - Selling boxes gets old fast -No room for advancement. ROOM has a habit of hiring older men to fill exec / management roles while hard working female employees get pushed out. -Run like a tech startup but valued like a furniture company. Employee equity is worthless.

ROOM Response
5y
We have been extremely fortunate at ROOM to experience such dynamic growth over the course of the last two years. So many incredible employees, current and former, have contributed to our success and deserve recognition for their hard work. We believe that our past and future success cannot happen without a diverse group of talented individuals working together, and are hopeful that every team member hired advances with ROOM in line with their personal career trajectory and their ROOM-specific role and responsibilities. To date in 2020, we have promoted 15% of our total staff and these promotions have been equally divided between men and women. Our leadership team currently consists of nine individuals, three of whom are women. In our last 10 mixed level recruitments, seven of the hires were women and three of those seven were for senior-level positions. We will continue to ensure ROOM's employee base consists of a diverse mix of team members, all passionately dedicated to inspiring a better way to work.
