Pros

Honestly, the only reason to be employed here is the discount. 50% off outlet pricing 50% regular gallery pricing 30% sale items from the regular store

Cons

Unfortunately management can not agree on anything. They constantly change policies and half of them barely work. They are more interested in hanging out with each other and being on their phones. Most do not care about their job and it shows with how the employees act. There’s no training. A sales associate showed me how to fill out the paperwork once and that was it. Every manager is willing to do different things for customers so there is no consistency. A lot of the younger employees are very petty and constantly fight. There is no recognition for a job well done.

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.
