Great company, needs new management.
Pros
The people I worked with during my time at TRR truly made the hell bearable. The employees there are so talented and truly have a passion for fashion that i haven't witnessed before. The RealReal was also great in that it is one of the only companies in the Bay Area that has to do with fashion (besides retail) that is dealing with luxury items. Also, can't forget the free food multiple times a week.
Cons
To start, many of the manager roles in this company are not deserved, they simply got placed in those positions because they have connections with the executive team upstairs. Within my first couple months of working there I realized that my superior didn't know how to manage our team at all and would make us work extreme hours when it wasn't necessary. Later on down the road, I learned they got their position from being friends with the right people and had absolutely no managerial experience. Many of the promotions that happened in my department was because of employees being friends with our boss as well. Situations like that are especially painful when you see people that have been there much longer and are more qualified for the job get passed over because they refuse to be "the favorite" just to get what they want. When I first accepted the job at TRR I was extremely excited to be apart of the company, and I do think things would have been different if the management was better.
