Pros

You're surrounded by all the fake luxuries and the amenities that they make seem to provide. Sometimes you may be able to travel with the company.

Cons

Overworking way too much, you may take work with you home. You may get in trouble for nothing, I mean it, and no one will care if you were right or wrong. If you're not on managers side, that will cost you nerves, but if you are it will cost you energy. Your own manager may throw you under the bus. They treat each department different, "designers" go through the hardest times. Title "Designer" doesn't mean that you will DESIGN, there is absolutely nothing creative in this company no matter how beautifully they will advertise it for u. Benefits are terrible, never dealt with the worst insurance for so much money! Absolutely NO work life balance, only work!

Pros

One of the strongest aspects of this role is the autonomy. I’m trusted to make decisions that genuinely support the customer experience without constant approval from leadership. If I believe an exchange plus a $250 gift card is the right solution to preserve a relationship, I’m empowered to do that. That level of trust creates confidence and allows us to move quickly when issues arise. Leadership is accessible when needed, especially in escalated situations. I’ve never felt left alone to manage something beyond my scope. There is also regular voluntary overtime available, which is a plus for those looking to increase their hours. For someone transitioning from another industry, the environment feels more structured and brand-focused, which has been refreshing

Cons

The clientele can be challenging. Some customers assume that spending thousands of dollars entitles them to treat frontline employees disrespectfully, even when those employees had no involvement in the original issue. It can also be frustrating to hold a boundary with a customer, only to see it reversed after escalation. While I understand the desire to preserve relationships, it can unintentionally undermine employee confidence and consistency in standards. Because RH carries so many collections and product variations, the learning curve is steep. Customers often expect immediate, detailed product knowledge, which takes time to develop.
