Pros

good for those that prefer to work independently and not communicate with clients.

Cons

Extremely little pay for the amount of work you do daily. You get paid double the amount working at a fast food place than the paid you receive here. Not allow to sit, have to stand 9+ hours. Warehouse setting very factory setting. Its not as glamorous has others may say. Its worst than if you work for places like Amazon.

Thank you for submitting your feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the opportunity to work autonomously during your time at The RealReal. We understand that the Photo Production Assistant role can be monotonous due to it’s repetitive nature and quick pace, however, we do regularly assess our compensation and benefits to ensure we are competitive in the marketplace and have made adjustments to our compensation.

Pros

Pay and commission can be good, but the structure is unnecessarily convoluted and not as generous as it seems, and you will have no work/life balance if you want to actually make consistently high commission. If you have a true passion for luxury and fashion, you do get a lot of opportunities to handle and interact with special/rare items, and depending on store location you can meet a lot of interesting industry people and celebrities, especially during Fashion Weeks

Cons

Poor and unsupportive management with extremely unrealistic demands and expectations; you will get virtually no training, but are immediately expected to know how to do everything. The overall company culture is just unpleasant and very cliquey, and there's constant employee turnover. The online customer service system is terrible, so you will frequently have to handle customer issues that have nothing to do with you/your sales.
