Pros

Many of the employee's in the day to day operations are some of the best and hard working people you will ever meet. All are overworked and under paid.

Cons

Ritchie has one of the poorest management groups in place now that it has ever had, all left over from the former CEO.

Pros

The healthcare benefits are excellent.

Cons

There is little to no support. There is a lot of favoritism. When something goes wrong especially, when it is lingering from previous management, the fingers are pointed at you. You are not set up for success. The training program is relatively short and not very informative. I do not recommend working for this company or it's subsidiaries. When it comes down to your branch, there are too many James on the pot making life and the business difficult.
