Pros

I have been working at TheRealReal for almost a year now. I can honestly say this has been the best place I have ever worked. It's not just all of our love for luxury items, but you can't beat working at a company that truly cares about you. I come into work everyday so excited to be here, and I can't wait to see how much I grow within this company.

Cons

I can't think of one con for this company. You have to come into working here that it is a fast pace environment because we are a start up company, which makes working here so exciting. There is constant change and constant test runs for new things, but being a part of that type of culture, while being successful is very exciting.
