Pros

+Great company to get your foot into the corporate world. +Fast paced environment provides vast amounts of experience with a hot corporate brand in a short time. +There is opportunity to both advance and change career paths within the company +Many departments allow for limited work-from-home and flexible schedules so long as it doesn't interfere with overall productivity and general availability +Nice campus to come into work every day +Most people are friendly, smart, good intentioned and hard working +Personally - I like that everyone is generally too busy to stand around chatting

Cons

-No 401K match -Health plans could be more competitive -Can get frustrating and chaotic particularly due to the employee high turnover and a constantly changing company focus -Culture tolerates a disappointing attitude when it comes to respecting an individual's time both in the office and at home. (personal pet peeve is people checking their phone email during meetings) -Severely outdated retail systems compound the work and stress the company already demands from their employees - forcing more time to be spent on manual processing rather than productive decision making. -A competitive base pay salary (for the area) has to be negotiated

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.
