Pros

This company has a list of core values that is very enticing to any newcomer. Unfortunately, they are delicate and can be ruined by one disgruntled leader. I learned more about how to be a creative, solution-oriented leader in a short amount of time. This company is going through an immense amount of changes and it is a place you can really work to build something bigger than yourself.

Cons

Too many payroll constraints. Virtually no LP or inventory control. On average coverage was 1 leader and 2 associates for a store of 9 rooms. Other cons revolve around the company demand to join the strange Resto cult. The kool aid in this company is unlike any other and is more of a religion rather than a typical work environment. If you can regurgitate the core values and buzz words in daily conversations then promotions will come swiftly.

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.
