Pros

need a 5 word minimum to move on to cons...

Cons

...Do not apply here it is a cesspool of unqualified so called 'fashion foward' individuals playing dress up. Set your sights for better then this, and look elsewhere this is not the place for you if you really want to get a fashion career started. Even if this just something temporary, don't punish yourself. A day in this place feels like 4 years in high school. I would go further but it seems all the other hundreds of negative reviews pretty much cover it.

The RealReal Response

I am so sorry this was your experience. Perfection we are not, but we very much want to hear from all of our employees so that we can improve. I also feel bad that you were so unhappy for more than a year, and wrote twice on this site...I encourage people to speak up at work as well to be heard.

Pros

Good peer group of women on the team. Mileage reimbursement is provided.

Cons

Extremely high sales quotas that are difficult to consistently achieve, paired with limited compensation upside even when goals are met. The organization feels top-heavy, with too many layers of management relative to the field team, which creates inefficiencies and slows decision-making. Management style can feel overly micromanaged and at times more focused on process and tone than actual business growth or performance metrics. There is limited perceived career growth, and compensation does not scale meaningfully with experience or performance. Overall morale among the sales team is low, and employee concerns around workload, pay, and structure do not always feel addressed in a meaningful way.
