Pros

diverse inventory and nice coworkers

Cons

The combination of ineffective leadership, a toxic culture, and insufficient benefits creates an environment that is difficult to navigate and thrive in. The benefits offered by The RealReal are inadequate compared to the demands of the job. compensation does not align with the expectations and challenges faced in their roles, leading to dissatisfaction among staff. lack of support and clarity from leadership, which contributes to a toxic work environment where favoritism and gossip are prevalent. experiences of microaggressions, which further exacerbate the negative atmosphere.

Pros

Working with designer items and high-value clients might sound appealing at first, but the overall experience fell far short of expectations. The environment and management made it difficult to enjoy what could have been a great role.

Cons

Constant driving and long hours, including weekends, just to attempt hitting unrealistic quotas. Pay is low for the workload and expectations, with heavy micromanagement throughout. High turnover is a clear issue—many inherited clients complained about inconsistency, lost items, and lack of follow-through. The culture feels cliquey and unprofessional, and the company’s polished linkedin image does not match the actual day-to-day experience.
