Pros

Independent work, the bare minimum of giving us a very low credit for food per month.

Cons

NO growth. Have not learned at all. Robotic work where you stand up all day doing the same impossible task since the expectations and quotas are so absurdly high. People who last there only do so because they are favored by management. There is a high turnover rate for a reason. Only half an hour of lunch. Ridiculous. Expect The realreal to continue selling very poor, sometimes fake items, because their only priority is to reach high numbers, not to sell quality. Have to choose between having a healthy life or making a living. This job will suck the energy and life out of you.
