Pros

If you’re in a corporate role you’ll get anywhere from 165-200 hours of PTO per year Good medical/dental/vision insurance 401k is matched 100% for the first 3% and 50% for the next 2% Majority of people you work with are nice, team players, go getters and fun to be around

Cons

Egos got best of RV. They’ve laid off SEVERAL employees because the CEO and higher ups got in over their heads and acquired too much capital to get a solid (20%+) investment return on. So even though the company is projected to finish in the black for 2022 because it’s not as much as years past and to satisfy their fat wallets and egos they let a lot of people go. Resounding theme you’ll hear during AEMs is “young people”. RV has college campus feel/mentality. It’s all about the new and the young because they can get away with paying you far less than market average while wooing you with subsidized meals, on-site gym, and apartments that are a stone’s throw away from campus. The more tenured people (in employment and age) are getting pushed out. Professional gentrification. Every year there’s a big 2-3 day event that is properly named “Culture Fest”, or as we call it CULT-ture Fest. RV says they believe that everything is written in pencil but that’s not true. They do things their way or the highway. It’s highly frowned upon for you to do anything other than drink the RV koolaid.

Pros

Strong ownership, opportunity to manage people early, great people, nice campus. You will work on interesting problems and external companies. Great training if the space interests you.

Cons

Business future is uncertain, up or out management principles. New senior leaders somewhat disconnected from the day-to-day. Commute from Charlotte is horrible.
