Pros

Great products. At the forefront of interior design trends. Not commission based, so sales people work as a team instead of competing with each other.

Cons

Very poor product training. Most product knowledge is up to you from looking through catalogs and online. There is no training on how to sell either. Corporate is very separate from the stores. It's up to the managers (aka leaders) to pass new information along - this happens inconsistently because of people's intermittent schedules. Compensation is an hourly rate which by no means could be a passable living wage therefore there is a lot of turnover. Also they do not promote from within, i.e.: salesperson to manager. Unless you live in California near their HQ, you have limited options of roles.

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.
