Pros

Excellent work atmosphere, great cafeteria and game room to relax in when needed. Downtown location is great for entertaining clients and potential customers. Management on most teams are very supportive and excited to have intelligent, energetic people working for them.

Cons

Getting qualified people hired via referrals is tough (Recruiters -) Growing pains mostly, lack of great communication between departments.

Pros

Good compensation. Benefits are good. They invest in training people which is better than the industry norm.

Cons

Poor sales management. Lack of vision to grow company. It's a political albatross, make sure you kiss ass to management or there will be repercussions. RH looks for followers, not leaders. Sales management is the classic, 'Emperor wearing no clothes'....best to collect your (very well compensated) paycheck than try to make positive changes. Long term future is very dim once the maintenance renewals start slowing down.
