Pros

Very booze and happy hour friendly employer (especially if working at corporate!). Everyone is generally friendly. I was able to translate everything I learned into a more stable, better paying job with far superior benefits and warm corporate environment. So - thanks for that.

Cons

Where do I start? - Upper management, especially the executive team, has no idea how to lead. They ignore pertinent and helpful suggestions because it bruises their egos. This is a business - learn from the suggestions and look deeper than just the surface. - The corporate atmosphere is one of very unnecessary chaos. Just because the company is growing does not mean you need to make snap judgments on every decision you make. Take a breath and think over the best course of action before acting on it. - I was belittled and/or screamed at consistently during my time at Riva. This was witnessed by MANY people in upper management, of which NONE intervened or even asked if I was ok (I was not).
