Pros

Employee events, attempts at friendly environment, free employee gym.

Cons

-BEDBUGS- -HEAT AND A/C OFTEN BREAK- RDI WILL EXPECT YOU TO WORK AT YOUR DESK IN TEMPS AS HIGH AT 100 DEGREES AND BELOW FREEZING. CANNOT GET HEAT OR A/C TO FUNCTION BUT HAS BUDGET TO REPLACE SITE MANAGERS WALL WITH GLASS. OSHA NEEDS TO SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN. Overworked/underpaid, dishonest management, policies constantly changing, those with children should not apply. RDI lies to clients for business and cheats PCI compliance. You will go through two weeks of training to not know how to carry out your job on the floor. No opportunity for advancement. Very cliquish and classist environment, virtually no people of color in management. Promises of raises/promotions are fraudulent. Sexual harassment is rampant. New employees hired on at $12/hr while employees who have been there years are not able to get a raise higher than $11/hr, including management.

Pros

Very flexible, caring people. Honestly some of the best people I have ever met.

Cons

Progress isn't measured very clearly, you will think you are doing well, then suddenly you aren't.

Pros

Holiday pot lucks (with meat provided by RDI) Will pay for exercise/gym as long as you're willing to meet the requirements (otherwise you pay). Ok benefits Some projects offer remote work after probationary period, including equipment Sales jobs may pay higher than customer service and tech support Everyone is super nice to you in orientation+training (it doesn't last)

Cons

No attention to dietary restrictions for pot luck, causing some people to not be able to enjoy. Definite focus on unhealthy eating with most snacks, meals and beverages in the canteen being crap, and a culture that seems focused on being unhealthy, and enabling obesity. False sense of culture presented during training - real culture becomes obvious after. Claims of "family" style, interest in feedback, inclusiveness and so on largely false. Climate controlled by site director, and they're generally interested in minimizing the cost so you may be too hot/cold. Deceptive culture, two sets of rules - one for the clique of managers, supervisors (glorified team leads) and 'special' employees, the other for everyone else. I.E. Favoritism. You can feel it from the moment you get out of training. Lack of interest in actual feedback, coupled with defensiveness or attacks Dishonesty and some bullying by leadership Very strict rules about bathroom use time (20 min/day). If you have a medical excuse, you can get an exemption so you aren't written up, but you won't be paid for that time in excess of 20 min/day. You're given your supervisor and manager's phone numbers to contact outside of work but good luck getting a response every time you need to contact them! Pathetic training by people with no experience in that area, who are led by onsite directors with no experience in education, either, leaving you potentially ill-prepared for your job. Sub-par salaries, which they blame on the clients. Holidays and holiday pay depend on both RDI rules and client rules, not just RDI, so you may not get vacation pay for some holidays. Very stingy company shoveling money upwards to the C-suite while maybe people in lower positions get crap pay, and some of the people you promote end up giving too much of their personal time to you without proper compensation. I could go on and on....
