Pros

Each employee gets an iPad while they're on duty, which makes placing orders and answering customers' questions easier. I genuinely liked most of the people who work for the company. Except for Gary Friedman, who is a tool.

Cons

No matter how much sales increase they are always expected to increase more. And if you get close to attaining your outrageous sales goal they will usually increase it. They generally do not promote from within. Almost all of the non-management employees are kept as part-time so the company does not have to provide health insurance. You have to average more than 30 hours per week to be considered full-time and they will keep you just under that number.

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.
