Pros

learned a bit about clothes i guess (not much more than i already knew tho lol)

Cons

the most toxic and unhealthy work environment i’ve ever experienced. worked there for 4 months and took the first exit i could (which was a pay cut but idgaf i needed to get out) the management is deplorable. every job i’ve had i’ve stayed at least 2+ years. i lasted 4 months at the realreal. i wish everyone currently working there good luck, god speed, and get out when you can.

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.
