Pros

No particular positives from my experience during the recruitment process.

Cons

The main challenge in my experience was a lack of clarity and consistency throughout the recruitment process. During the interviews, my understanding was that a full-time role would be available, which influenced some important personal decisions on my side. As the process progressed, the information I received changed several times, creating uncertainty around the position and next steps. While I understand that business needs can evolve, the communication felt unclear at key stages of the process. From a candidate perspective, it was difficult to plan with confidence due to the changing expectations and timelines. I believe stronger internal alignment and more transparent communication would help create a better candidate experience and reduce uncertainty for future applicants.

Pros

I was retired for years from my Corporate job. Decided that I wanted a part time job to get out of the house. This was my “Happy Place”. Never had a job that I loved so much. Worked hard, had the best customers (loyal) co workers. I learned so much about fashion and dressing different body types. I’ve been in different stores since I left as a customer buying myself clothes. Several ladies came up to me to ask how I am doing this! You’re wonderful at putting things together. I actually helped them put together wardrobes from what I learned. I felt an immense proudness working for RL. I still do. My managers were great and wouldn’t ask you to do anything they wouldn’t. Best of all is the discounts. After almost 5 years of working there, I realized it cost me money to work there. Lol. I’m a clothes nut. I never ever left a shift without a brown paper bag with a Polo Horse on it.

Cons

Some employees are very cut throat about individual sales. We were NOT on commission. Some employees just need to calm down and realize that we work as a team. Most do, but a few bad apples. Not much.
