Pros

Harassment is slightly less here than at other contractors in the area.

Cons

Presents itself as better than other contractors around, but don’t be fooled. Riverside operates just the same as the rest. Profits first people last. You are only “family” if you are in leadership. They don’t value female or minority employees and you’ll see that in the lack of representation in leadership at all levels.
