Pros

diverse inventory and nice coworkers

Cons

The combination of ineffective leadership, a toxic culture, and insufficient benefits creates an environment that is difficult to navigate and thrive in. The benefits offered by The RealReal are inadequate compared to the demands of the job. compensation does not align with the expectations and challenges faced in their roles, leading to dissatisfaction among staff. lack of support and clarity from leadership, which contributes to a toxic work environment where favoritism and gossip are prevalent. experiences of microaggressions, which further exacerbate the negative atmosphere.

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.
