Pros

-Management is very understanding and flexible with family emergencies, sick days, appointments and areas outside of work that need urgent attention. -Staff have PTO that accrues over time, paid holidays, 40 hours of sick time per year, and birthdays or a day of our choice is now considered a holiday one day per year. -Overall a friendly atmosphere -Everyone seems to learn from and help each other -Complimentary tea and coffee every day -The staff at Renaissance are very community oriented with donations, fund raisers and volunteering for charities. There are teams that volunteer up to every quarter. -The new CEO seems to be very genuine and ready to make positive changes.

Cons

-Not many employees believe that the company represents its mission statement because it's more financially driven. -Goals increase every year even if they were not met the previous year(s). -There's a lot of position insecurity, if employees are struggling to meet KPI's or are not liked, they will often be picked at until they leave or get pushed into a position that gets eliminated. -Going from hourly to salary was clearly done to benefit the company. Employees who have worked overtime have calculated their income to be about $4 per hour (depending on the hours worked) instead of having time in a half. -During all hands meetings, employees are afraid to voice their thoughts because there was someone in the past who was fired shortly after an honest and blunt statement. -There are promises made that are not followed through with such as the option to work from home. -If employees are interested in a different position internally, it's difficult and rare to move once you're in a position.

Pros

Friendly employees, good place to get your career started

Cons

drama and rumors, lack of respect from management, and no room for advancement. Don't fall for false promises, they will lead you on with small raises with no future advancement.

Pros

Friendly people, good benefits, seemingly positive business outlook....

Cons

Very bureaucratic, veteran employees have tenure-like status, struggling to shrug off outdated and ineffective business systems and practices.
