Pros

If you’re in a leadership role the pay and benefits are ok. Meeting quality people, staff and customers is a plus.

Cons

It’s exhausting working 60-70 hours with no overtime pay and very few days off ever. There was no appreciation or rewards for busting your behind. Bonuses are promised at the start however corporate changes sales plan throughout the month just as you’re getting close to making your bonus, making impossible to make bonus. Having to host cult like values meetings was the worse, mostly because the field leader doesn’t live the values yet expects staff to. Having to lift and move 200 pound plus furniture was impossible. Trying to hire and keep Associates was very difficult because the pay is low with no benefits or commission, not to mention it’s the toughest job ever. Trying to convince someone to take a job unloading trucks filled with massage furniture isn’t easy. The field leader was abusive and very negative. She created a very hostile and toxic environment by getting staff to snitch on each other.

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.
