Pros
Soho House will make you feel very special during Induction Week by paying you a high wage during on-boarding. You will probably be excited about working for an international brand with the potential to advance and, perhaps, work abroad one day. During the PowerPoint presentation, management is going to tell you a lot of great stories about houses and celebrities that will enchant you and build team camaraderie. You will leave Induction Week with the perspective that Soho is a highly organized and caring company. Soho House has great ideals; however, you will soon discover that they don't abide by their ideals in practice. The only 'Pros' of Soho are your fellow co-workers. Soho attracts a lot of interesting employees that are seeking a new beginning. A few awesome coworkers will make up for the overall lack of proper management. Soho is a great place to make a quick buck and run!
Cons
1) Soho presents itself as an extremely Diverse & Equal company; however, all of its upper-level management is White and Male. Often times, Soho runs more like a Frat House than an actual corporation. Soho engages in a high degree of nepotism. 2) Soho House promotes on the basis of style and charm as opposed to a worker’s ability. A lot of incompetent people are in upper-level positions. They lack real work ethic. 3) Soho does not abide by its own Standard Operating Procedures. Houses lack coordination/communication and are terrible at solving simple problems. If you bring up an issue in SOP, it will be ignored. Soho likes to ignore problems and pretend they don't exist. In regard to problems, Soho is reactive not proactive. 4) The floor managers and kitchen managers are overworked, while the Chef and House CEO chill. This is a great company to work for if you are at the top of the food chain. 5) "Soho House has never made an operating profit in its 26-year history." This company operates with an extreme debt-to-income ratio. Poor finances are indicative of poor management. 6) Soho House is not receptive to advice or critique. Soho lets its upper-level management and House CEO make arbitrary decisions while ignoring the advice of its workers and floor/kitchen managers. Soho is out of touch with the reality of day-to-day operations. If you have years of experience, they won't value your professional opinion. 7) Soho misrepresents itself to employees. It presents itself as an extremely Equitable, Organized, and Caring company when in fact it is the exact opposite. Why try so hard to lie?

Pros
Stellar benefits and pay. To distract from poorly ran business. Very little room for proper promotion within.

Constant change in management and company policy. Training is not good and very little accountability.

Pros
- everyone is incredibly nice and fun to work with - food and drink program is great - paid training (beer/wine/spirits/coffee) - promote from within - you can move to different positions around the house - great pay/OK benefits (made $8hr as bartender) - accommodated a nursing mom in pumping room - looks good on your resume
Cons
- management enforces harsh policies such as termination for tardiness and I had difficulty requesting off certain days - they are disorganized and inefficient - Soho cares about one thing only: their image At first glance they look amazing and professional, but underneath it's a s*** show. They can't get their bar team to actually care about the bar or their work ethic. The layout is poorly designed for efficiency. It just seems like the owner Nick Jones is opening too many houses too fast. They are not perfecting houses before opening another one, they all have so many problems that need to be fixed. I was in the opening team of Soho House Chicago, and our first year was so much fun! We made good money and worked hard. Now... It's gone terribly downhill.

Pros
You get High pay rate per Demo appointments and Commisions. You also get bonuses all the time based on your sales. You get to make your own hours and days. You are a part of a team and grow together. They want you to succeed and that’s a good feeling. There’s no catch or scheme. You truly are a sales rep and get better sales over time.
Cons
You just have to be in a quite area with wifi which is barely a con.

Pros
The pay is somewhat competitive although they should be paying more than 14/ hour for the intensity of the work.
Cons
-Understaffed half of the time you are running around trying to get a manager or looking for essentials (napkins, glasses, silverware etc because a lot of the bussers don't do their jobs and management is always lacking) - Incompetent managers -Incompetent way of operating -Everyone is over worked - 30 min lunch for 8+ hour shifts - No breaks whatsoever - Rude clientele - They expect you to stay 30 min to an hour more with no respect to your time - They ask you to do things not in your job description - No benefits for part time employees

1 - 3.010 Aug 2021Front Desk ReceptionistFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsMalibu, CA
Pros
Pay is competitive but if you don't ask for what you deserve then they will truly give you the minimum.
Cons
SoHo House West Hollywood management is not supportive. They're slightly ignorant to the meaning of diversity inclusion and often refers to black members as riff raff.
