Pros

Not many currently looking at what other companies offer. Here are some : -Flexible schedule -Personal Gas -Masters Degree reimbursement -Car wash stipend -

Cons

Plenty of cons; -Poorly paid versus the competition -Workload of 2017 - Home Office is completely out of touch with the reality in the field. -Promotion structure - expect you to put your life on hold for a phone call and 30 days notice to move. No say at all in where you go. They expect your whole family to up and move their life for an average pay increase - Promotion process - you are at the mercy of management individuals who may have spent 1 or 2 days with you. Many are reluctant to promote. - Company hiring externally when many employees are ready for Promotion. - Company cares more about diversity statistics over hiring the right person. - Management cannot handle any type of challenging or criticism but expect TMs to take ALL feedback and implement without question. - Rigid progression path - not everyone wants to go the route RAI has mapped out. Be flexible not everyone wants to be a DM. Give the opportunities for varied career progression. - Technology in the company and given to employees is terrible. The job takes longer daily because of the poor technology. Get it right and spend money on a proper IT department! - Your career depends solely on having a good DM or KAM. If you don’t get this you will never get promoted

Pros

Company car and free gas

Cons

1. The managerial style of the district manager in Seattle is extremely petty, his reviews make no sense whatsoever, and there is a rampant culture of favoritism going on in his district. 2. The insistence on doing “work withs” for a person with high functioning Autism was absolute torture. Even though reasonable accommodations were requested by me, none were given. 3. The district manager also referred to me as in proper nouns that were derogatory and EXTREMELY offensive to someone with Autism numerous times. 4. The payout of bonuses were also extremely infrequent, even though I qualified for them. 5. Finally during the interview process, one of the biggest selling points that was made to me was a promise of a work life balance with “exemplary pay.” Neither of which came to fruition.
