Pros

Working with a team of hustlers felt great! Top performers often shared their techniques for success and you could always rely on team members for support after difficult calls and emails.

Cons

*Constant* changes to the compensation structure was questionable. Continuing to increase quotas seemed more like they were trying to save money for the company and not payout "upsell." The turnover on the overall sales team was also concerning. This role should have better benefits and compensation. The HR team is a disaster: unreliable and unprofessional.

Pros

I will always point out the positive in anything prior to pointing out the negative. Here at The RealReal it’s an way place to learn about key industry trends consindering it’s necessary to stay abreast on certain things as a copywriter. They do feed you weekly and provide bagels every Friday.

Cons

The downsides to working here, I’ll just list them below; • underpaid • copywriters are not valued( so if you do get job here just make sure it’s in management) that is the only way the company will respect you and care about what you have to say. • there is constant change every week. • promoting people who are not qualified • lack of communication from upper management • the company does not set you up for success within the company. They don’t anticipate copywriters to want to move out of the role and if so expect to be in that role for a very long time.
