Pros

Weekends off, early hours. Decent insurance

Cons

RTC stands for Respect Teamwork Communication. Like any company value, it sounds great, but the reality is this. Respect is a one way street here. You must respect everything going on no matter how wrong it is for your safety, company profit, ethics, or peace of mind. On top of being forced to accept the managerial disrespect, if you politely express your concerns you will be ignored totally. When your concerns get ignored enough and you become rude, then they are quick to throw this RTC in your face with threats and the problem in their eyes becomes only that you are rude and they totally ignore the disrespect that made you rude. Left now with the only option for me to address issues is to go over their heads to high upper management, or resort to filing complaints with government agencies, or just document and keep good records to protect myself during any type of litigation.

Strenuous Hiring Process, but worth it the company is very caring and they do their due diligence on vetting new hires. The first few weeks are planned very welll and the structured training process is Awesome!

Pros

Most of the employees are decent people looking for sincere connections from their coworkers while others fake it so they can gossip or tattle. Learned a lot about the industry in a short time especially since the work load continues to pile up even for new hires. Buyers are permitted to work from home two days of the week after their 6 month probation period.

Cons

Never ending side projects or improvements that require employees to change how they were taught even just months prior. Less than 2% yearly pay increase for a company of this size seems crazy. Parts of the annual performance review are based on factors out of the buyers control with no indication that the company has a plan to rectify it but someone the buyer is still held responsible. Some senior salesmen are permitted to be aggressive/demanding to new hires who are still learning their job. Very strong chemical smell in the Lakeland office whenever a styrene shipment arrives usually on a Monday which lingers in the office for a few days and can make it difficult to concentrate. Senior employees gaslight new hires that there is no smell or that it doesn’t bother anyone else. Management does nothing to try to ventilate the office and even make a big deal if asked to open a door for fresh air. Many employees are related to each other.
