Pros

There are nice employees if you vibe with them

Cons

Truly a showroom that wants to see itself as a design company by hiring only interior designers. But the hours are retail, the work schedule is retail, the pay is retail. As the director said, "we don't charge for our design skills, we charge for our furniture" so that should be seen as a punch to your design degree. The morning meetings are painful. It's too much to have everyday. Playing games and telling quotes sounds like I'm back at daycamp. They won't tell you until the offer that you don't get back to back days off. A red flag is when companies say we are your family and that is how they see themselves. Siblings and parents. No thanks. Quick turnaround - people stay for 3-6 months because the amount of work isn't worth it. You truly sign your life to them. Reviews are real, believe them.

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.
