Pros

Great salary well above NYC average. Amazing discounts on RL products/sample sales. Big focus on no harassment or discrimination

Cons

Disorganized, awful communication, cliques/gossip. Team members that misrepresent timelines and projects to buy themselves time for their work while less senior members of the team take the blame. Very structured HR (that no one uses), company values that seemingly no one adheres to. Management randomly "restructures" and lays entires teams off, which keeps everyone in a constant state of fear for their job.

Pros

I was retired for years from my Corporate job. Decided that I wanted a part time job to get out of the house. This was my “Happy Place”. Never had a job that I loved so much. Worked hard, had the best customers (loyal) co workers. I learned so much about fashion and dressing different body types. I’ve been in different stores since I left as a customer buying myself clothes. Several ladies came up to me to ask how I am doing this! You’re wonderful at putting things together. I actually helped them put together wardrobes from what I learned. I felt an immense proudness working for RL. I still do. My managers were great and wouldn’t ask you to do anything they wouldn’t. Best of all is the discounts. After almost 5 years of working there, I realized it cost me money to work there. Lol. I’m a clothes nut. I never ever left a shift without a brown paper bag with a Polo Horse on it.

Cons

Some employees are very cut throat about individual sales. We were NOT on commission. Some employees just need to calm down and realize that we work as a team. Most do, but a few bad apples. Not much.
