Pros
- Transparent - execs and management are very accessible. The CEO knows everyone at company (250 employees) Anyone can approach CEO or their manager with an idea and it will be given true consideration if it can drive the business forward. - Working hard means something ~ Everything is driven by performance indicators and if you routinely make and exceed your goals, you are rewarded not with cupcakes - but with real promotions. This company truly promotes from within and it is not just brochure speak. - The Business model works - High growth and we are changing the way people shop and consign luxury goods. The ebay model and lookalikes fall short with luxury goods. The RealReal is solving the ebay problem of trust and smart shoppers and consignors love The RealReal. - Diversity. Unlike most companies in the valley, The RealReal was founded by a woman and she is over 40... She truly encourages diversity and hiring the best person for the job. If you prefer working with women, this is the place for you.
Cons
- Hard work - This is not for everyone. If you want a 9-5 job, there are companies that do that. If you want to contribute and make an impact in a company, this is for you. You will not be promoted in 90 days, so some people that want instant gratification for doing their job and coming to work on time, are often dissatisfied. - Work on weekends and on some holidays. Often this does not sit well with everyone, but 90% of the folks at The RealReal believe we are building something special and we will be the next retail giant, so it is time well spent The company appreciates grit and hard work.
