Great company on up and up

Pros

Great compensation, fun group of people to work with and hang out with, good benefits, tough but rewarding work. The entrepreneurial spirit is great within the company - if you're driven to do things well and want to make a difference, you can actually have an impact on the company.

Cons

Workloads can be overwhelming at times, but this is due to the success of the company. Many people seem to be drawn to the success then leave after they realize that being here involves work.

Pros

Hard working atmosphere, professionals, good pay, and friendly. Sandbaggers and slackers don't last long and with the growth of the company, there is plenty of room for personal growth. Compensation is good (especially for the area) and management pushes for continuous improvement, then increases compensation after you better yourself to match your increased value. Focus on long-term growth is great (as opposed to quarterly bottom line) and recognition is distributed where earned. There is a lot of pride, but fewer egos. I've been with the company for 2 years and love coming to work because of the people and camaraderie I feel here.

Cons

The growing size of the company means that culture is going to change, and hiring new talent inevitably results in picking up a few poor fits. PTO = Pretend Time Off, but is self-inflicted and due to the feeling of responsibility for your own job.

Pros

Speaking strictly for operations in the company (with which I am most familiar), Red River is an absolutely fantastic place to work. Compensation is good, personal development and training is supported, encouraged, and compensated, career advancement is highly available, company prospectus is fantastic, work environment is very nice (all 3 offices), and the culture is unbeatable. Everyone you meet in the company works hard, and those who don't simply don't last, often leaving on their own accord. Finding a company where everyone genuinely want to help each other is a very rare scenario; Red River has been that place for me. If you have a problem, more often than not the difficult part is choosing which person offering to help will be able to provide the most assistance. Red River is also unique in that everyone is professional during work, but is not afraid to have fun off-hours. I am refraining from using the "work hard, play hard" cliche because it provides an incorrect association with fake, "poster-cultures", where the company executives formally dictate what the company culture is rather than having it be naturally generated. The vast majority of people within the company are always looking to improve not only themselves, but also their positions and processes. The resistance associated with change is low, but the change is structured and intentional. Work hours can be long, especially during "busy season", but the support that everyone else is undergoing the same long hours and hard work makes it all that more bearable. Employee support, raffles, lunches & breakfasts, and other niceties are the icing on the cake that make working here that much more enjoyable.

Cons

Red River is a growing company, with all that it entails. Not all procedures are created or drawn, the work is difficult and often times not automated, and working here is NOT a free ride by any means.
