Pros

The design projects can be really interesting

Cons

The atmosphere has unfortunately changed in recent years. Management likes to play favorites for people who "look the part", I was constantly being gas-lit anytime I asked for something, the schedule was unreasonable, everyone seems burnt out but instead of talking about issues management puts a band-aid over it. Management is their own little club which creates a weird atmosphere...they went as far as watching us on the security cameras to try and catch any minor infraction. Its insane to me that in a place where people should be able to have creative freedom that there are so many rules to stifle creativity.

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.
