Pros

I've been at the company for close to 20 years, and they have been very good to me. I am loyal to RETTEW because they have given me the opportunity to grow in my career to the point where I created a senior-level position that had never existed before. Now I am managing people, and I have seen employees leave RETTEW thinking things were better somewhere else, only to find they are not. We have many boomerang employees who come back after searching elsewhere for a good company to work for. I also enjoy a flexible work schedule, and the CEO knows my kids' names. It's a great company, still loyal to its roots and the values upon which it was founded.

Cons

Depending on what office you are in, employee morale and culture vary. Some people can be negative overall and infect other staff. Some offices encourage you to do things together outside the office. Others stick to their desks.

Pros

I have been with RETTEW for over 12 years, serving in a variety of roles and responsibilities in multiple offices and Service areas. I have had the opportunity to learn and grow my technical and professional skills through a variety of mentors each providing a different perspective that helped me develop my own managerial style. RETTEW rewards the ambitious who are willing to step outside of their comfort zone and learn new skills. Recently, they have moved to a 100% ESOP firm, further proving their commitment to their employees.

Cons

As with most companies, workload can ebb and flow. While it is currently being rolled out, a more robust cross training program would help retain staff during specific downturns while increasing their skill sets.

Pros

Having been with RETTEW for a little over a month, I’m not the most qualified to speak to the nuances one might address after achieving ten-year. However, this first month has been outstanding. Their employee orientation was well organized, timely, and thoughtfully managed. There was a lot of information to digest, basic knowledge of company policies, procedures, and applications. However, my big takeaway from the orientation period was that it introduced me to key people to whom I could reference. My office manager, co-workers, and assigned field group personnel have made me feel welcomed from day one, with genuine questions about my professional background and personnel interest. The office to which I’m assigned has that positive, friendly family feel, where everyone is candid and respectful of others. The facilities are modern with plenty of accommodating amenities; coffee that doesn’t taste like the stuff my grandparents drank. Client satisfaction, product quality, and employee safety are fundamental to the culture of RETTEW and are addressed through classroom and online course training events. Currently, I have attended their in-house 40-hour HAZWOPER and defensive driver course, as well as several one-on-one training events that reviewed several software platforms. Free to employees, is a myriad of RedVector online courses that overviews anything from management styles to civil engineering applications. Overall, it has been a great start to a new career.

Cons

I have no constructive criticism to date
