TRIO Design Reviews

Where do I begin? They dazzle prospective employees with their benefits package, however it’s extremely false advertising. Work/Life balance means working 50+ hour weeks and majority of weekends to meet irrational deadlines set in their contracts. You can’t take PTO without stabbing yourself in the back and if you don’t use it, you lose it. Profit hungry and over commit to projects at designers expense. Constantly overworking employees with no recognition or regards to their wellbeing. Have witnessed several employees have mental breakdowns at work because of exhaustion and stress. The best part about Trio is that employees do not get a voice, and they scare you into conformity and fear of being laid off. Trio believes that employees are expendable. Trio has an extremely high turnover rate (I’m talking upwards of 5 new employees starting every week) and has to resort to hiring remote employees out of state because they have gone through every designer in Denver and have a terrible reputation in the community. They USE and ABUSE employees, and then throw you away. Extremely confused how they have so many positive reviews, must of paid for them.

Abusive toxic environment…their marketing and flashing lights draw in naive Interior Designers only to be severely underpaid to live in Denver and work an insane amount of hours of week on a sad salary. You’re expected to work overtime for no overtime pay, work on vacation so really don’t bother taking time off. Trio is basically a turn and burn place for Interior designers to gain experience and move on to bigger and better where they are not mentally and emotionally abused. The lead designers are so rude and verbally abusive. You’re expected to travel all the time so you don’t have a life and expected to do physically dangerous risky tasks on installs that should honestly be an HR violation but that won’t get you anywhere since HR is friends with the owner of the company. Don’t waste your voice or time or talent at this company that will only suppress and abuse you to the point where you’ll need therapy for years following
