Pros

Company offers good benefits from company vehicle to competitive medical insurance plans. In addition, there are other misc benefits that include EAP, gym, Thrive, 16 week parental leave, etc. RAI provides great training programs for Territory Managers and above (examples include workshops, trips to Corporate, week long training for managers, etc). Opportunities for growth are available, but like in any other organization of similar size and similar structure, reasonable mobility is needed and as you approach higher level roles, promotions might not be as frequent. When an employee voices their desire to build their career with the organization, a plan is placed to help them achieve desired goal.

Cons

- Mobility can be viewed as cons for the company. Like i mentioned above, reasonable mobility is needed when trying to get promoted, so it depends on the individual and their personal situation - there are many employees that are totally fine with this requirement and some that are not so much - Work Life balance . For some positions it is becoming more and more challenging to balance both. We used to talk a lot about this topic, but it is slowing down and instead we talk about productivity. Productivity is important and needs to be discussed especially in the company that is constatntly evolving, however, we shouldnt ignore work life balance. - Inconsistent workload. There are many same level positions that have absolutely different level of workload while pay is the same.

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.
