Pros

Great company values, innovative spirit and business model

Cons

VERY minimal benefits, (no 401-k match, no stock purchase plan, minimal PTO, minimal personal days/holiday, NO parental leave benefit, expensive health insurance options, NO family planning benefits,NO bonus), weak HR support. They have a very luxurious product offering and the exact opposite of luxury for an employment experience. You are expected to sell $16k sectionals, and close $300k design project orders, and they will not even approve to order lunch for the team as a celebration. Supply budgets are cut on a quarterly basis and you are often not even allowed to order coffee while delivering record breaking sales.

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.
