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

Pros

CFO who knows what he is doing; Friendly co-workers

Cons

Not willing to promote from within - managers are stiff about promoting low to mid level employees or even letting them move to a different group. Very top Heavy - company continues to hire more manager level positions and less workers to do the job. Management vested in trying to get high level jobs instead of doing their jobs Higher levels taking credit for work done by their employees.
