Pros

Travel is the best part of this job. You get to see the world and work with some amazing people globally. The company cares for its employees and benefits are one of the best I’ve had. The discount is a great perk.

Cons

Toxic environment. People in management positions have been there for 10+ years, lack leadership skills and play a favorite game where behavior is more valued than talent and experience, not a combination. It is very difficult to move up because it goes by seniority and personal connections, Pay is low and non competitive due to the expectation that people accept this as an exchange for travel and decent work hours. This is the perfect job for someone in their 20s building their career. It’s fun but make sure you keep polishing your skills because in a blink of an eye, time has gone bye and everyone else outside of the company have a higher pay and skill set than you. They give away high position roles that only have a name but the skills and requirements are of a mid level. Never seen so many incompetent directors in one place. It’s a club so make sure you drink the cool aid, or pretend, and you’ll be fine.

Pros

I was retired for years from my Corporate job. Decided that I wanted a part time job to get out of the house. This was my “Happy Place”. Never had a job that I loved so much. Worked hard, had the best customers (loyal) co workers. I learned so much about fashion and dressing different body types. I’ve been in different stores since I left as a customer buying myself clothes. Several ladies came up to me to ask how I am doing this! You’re wonderful at putting things together. I actually helped them put together wardrobes from what I learned. I felt an immense proudness working for RL. I still do. My managers were great and wouldn’t ask you to do anything they wouldn’t. Best of all is the discounts. After almost 5 years of working there, I realized it cost me money to work there. Lol. I’m a clothes nut. I never ever left a shift without a brown paper bag with a Polo Horse on it.

Cons

Some employees are very cut throat about individual sales. We were NOT on commission. Some employees just need to calm down and realize that we work as a team. Most do, but a few bad apples. Not much.
