What do you like best about the leadership team?
The communication is great good vibes
Store leadership team works extremely hard to ensure daily goals are met, supporting Sales Associates, processing and placing large quantities of new inventory, aggresively changing store displays
They are all very helpful without being rude or demeaning

Review from Customer Support Dept
The friendships I make with fellow employees. We often commiserate about how terrible it is to work there and how much we resent it.
it was very friendly while it lasted
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was a recording video responses to questions
Easy, the team was easy to talk to and questions were easy because manager had already made the decision to hire.
People seemed really sincere. They seemed to want to set me up for success.
My experience was different in that i was hired on the spot, although there was a lapse of time between submitting my resume/application and being contacted. I have found this to be problematic across the board with retail business like Williams Sonoma
It was comfortable and easy. Did it at home. Was able to take my time and work on my responses.
What makes you most happy at work?
Helping our guests finding the right products for their needs and dreams.
Actually helping customers instead of having to lie to them or pass them off to someone else.
Being able to engage with customers and convey my knowledge of products and my professional experience. Working with my associates
Working with guests and helping them make their homes beautiful.
Going to lunch then leaving. There are no windowss there and ceiling tiles are missing lol.
What do you like best about your company?
Distance from my home, it's close.
