Pros

Overall the "old" Redbox employees are very friendly and create a great work environment. The company also tries to create a fun work environment...cupcake day, free movies, various entertainment events, etc.

Cons

Minimal training/investing in people, must be apart of the "clique" or you're destined to fail despite your qualifications/experience...not a fair playing field, especially with the Sales team...what applies for one does NOT apply for ALL

Too much drama

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is very good compared to the work

Cons

The company has no solid direction. There are teams of 12 people with 4 to 5 managers. Very HR top heavy. There were at least 3 HR reps for my department of less than 15 people. No career advancement. Management and HR talked nonstop about how employees needed a clear career path but when anyone tried to establish a way to make it happen they were shot down in endless meetings. To many egos to get anything done. People will completely kill projects simply because they didn't think of it. There is way too much political drama. No one wants to take accountability for decisions and employees pay the price.
