Pros

The internal team structure is great most of the time

Cons

Biggest cons are leadership. What you need to understand is this company was started by former BCG employees who maintain too close of a relationship with the firm. 90% of your work will be partnering with BCG projects which sounds great until you realize you are working the same long hours as BCG employees but are getting paid a third of the salary. The most important thing to consider when applying to work at this firm is that it is only successful because of its relationship with BCG. As a result, leadership at Rios does anything that BCG says which means zero loyalty to its own employees, and often times, unethical practices that completely contradict the values preached by the company. Additionally, advancement in the firm is incredibly difficult as leadership works to maintain certain certifications like “Veteran-owned” or additional small business certifications that are only available if they have a certain number of people in different positions. Not a place where it is easy to climb the ladder unless you are popular.

We are proud to be Veteran owned. And while a majority of our contracts with the federal government involve partnering with other companies, BCG is not our largest partner. We hope your next position is more in line with what you're looking for.

Pros

Interesting clients but Rios doesn’t get to do interesting work for them

Cons

Rios is basically an arm of BCG to win federal contracts through questionable means since it counts as a small, vet-owned business Company is just getting juiced up by the CEO to sell at some point. He doesn’t care and is just looking for a quick payday at some point in the near future. This is why support staff are so few and why wages have never increased.
