Pros

KWD is fantastic design firm and great place to learn. The team is incredibly connected and tight knit. Since working for the firm I have learned so much about the interior design world and have been exposed to some of the most beautiful homes in San Francisco. From a marketing perspective, KWD is a prominent firm in the industry and with that comes plenty of perks.

Cons

The industry can be cut throat and you must be able to stay a few steps ahead to be successful. Organization is key. Many meetings and high expectations for strong performance.

Pros

Staff are nice and her shop is in a good location

Cons

Kendall takes full advantage of her employees by making them work a tremendous level of overtime. She lashed out at a pregnant employee and forced her to resign. Then she told us to keep our mouths shut about what had happened as it’s bad for business. A little later, she let go of front desk staff and we were asked to take trash out every night and clean the office. She sets up meetings at lunch-time, orders food for herself only and her staff are subject to watch her eat on an empty stomach. Additionally, she has cameras all over the office. Also, she pays a third party to remove negative reviews about her company.

Kendall Wilkinson Design Response

These are false allegations. We ensure that any overtime work is voluntary and compensated according to legal requirements. Our goal is to balance workload and personal time effectively. We have a zero-tolerance policy for any form of discrimination or harassment; the employee chose to resign and join another firm. Kendall frequently orders breakfast and lunch for the entire team while they are at work. There is one camera in the front of the office due to several break-ins and the entire team knows of it due to the burglaries along our street. We are committed to addressing any team members' concerns and continuously improving our workplace environment through employee feedback.
