Pros

One of the best things about RH are the people and the cross functional collaborations. You’re able to work independently and learn a great deal.

Cons

Although RH hires great people, they either can’t keep them or they’re miserable if they’re being candid or not new. The Values are all lip service by leadership and the company is very top heavy and very overpaid while those below struggle. The company plays favorites and moves people in positions they really shouldn’t be in. “Fast is as slow as we go” translates to “We’re going to ram things through without thoroughly thinking them through and leave those outside of leadership to clean up the mess.” Teams are too lean, no real investment in actual training and development, people burn out, could keep going..

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.
