Pros

If you're fresh out of college, this a great company to work for to gain experience and then leave.

Cons

If you are anywhere within the middle of your career, only come here if you're ready to feel less than at every single review because leadership limits the amount of good reviews managers can give out to save money (something I have seen discussed firsthand). Additionally, they claim there are amazing opportunities for growth, but what they really mean is free labor until you are burnt out and like I said before, you don't ever get paid for it or acknowledged during reviews.. only "keep doing what you're doing." Leaders are constantly changing goals and what they want, which also is a detriment to your goals. Pay raises are based on performance only, which wouldn't be a problem if they actually acknowledged your performance. Additionally, they changed all insurance coverage this past year, and what used to be amazing coverage is now the worst in my state. So bad that I need to pay out of pocket for all of my doctors. DEI is a joke. They pretended to care more during covid and slowly but surely minimized it all and allow mediocre white men who contribute only jargon to conversations to be managers and hold associates back from career growth

Pros

Great benefits. Great PTO. Pays well. Working environment is efficient and professional. Skilled and talented employees. Nice holiday schedule. Company perks. (Travel, events, swag, etc.)

Cons

The culture at Red Ventures can be a bit much at times. I respect their emphasis on being an inclusive and supportive company. But the way they present their ideals can feel like virtue signaling. They love to do grandios presentations all about how supportive they are of under-represented groups that come off as more of a “look how great I am” type event, rather than a genuine love and support for the communities. The CEO regularly finds opportunities to tell us all how wonderful he is and how supportive he is of all communities. During the pandemic, he sent out weekly, company wide emails regarding the world events taking place at that time. Every email was a full page long and they described some way that Ric was the most supportive person on earth. They described how he has friends in minoroty groups, how we need to be during this time, how we are in this together and were overall just a giant sign saying “look how awesome I am”. So in general, the company just loves to show off how “perfect” they are.
