Pros

amazing sample sales (but only about twice a year), beautiful corporate office, pay is decent (but not nearly enough when you consider all the negatives!!)

Cons

company has no respect for work/life balance, high turnover, a lot of unhappy & frustrated people, limited benefits (no 401K match) and few holidays, incompetent and bully executives keep getting promoted and never reprimanded. Negative and reactive culture. Culture is very pretentious, but there are a few gems of coworkers who are "normal" (but most leave!). To survive you have to have a very thick skin. Little opportunity to move up unless you leave or switch departments.

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.
