Pros

As someone who has worked for mainly large Fortune 500 companies, The RealReal is a breath of fresh air. As a growth company, we have a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and this provides plenty of ways to get directly involved and contribute toward the continued growth of the company. I am inspired by the social purpose of TRR's mission to reimagine the retail industry as a circular economy, and it's the first time in my career working for a place where I am also a customer, and most recently a consignor! Come grow your career with us!

Cons

As a growth company, there is plenty to do and to build. A fast paced entrepreneurial environment may not work well for everyone, but if that's where you get your energy, this is the place for you!

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.
