Pros

The people who work for the company, including management, are intelligent and interesting. Everyone works hard, but they have great senses of humor too, and that makes it a fun place to work. It is a stable company, and people tend to work here for the long-term.

Cons

The work is so interesting that the day flies by and it's hard to go home!

Pros

I've never stayed with a company this long, and that says a lot about how much I enjoy working at M.S. Rau. I've never been part of a team that's this aligned, supportive, and motivated. Expectations are high, but I've always been trusted to do my job and given the freedom to make an impact. It's incredibly rewarding to see your work produce real results. We move quickly, stay productive, and have strong leadership guiding the company. It's exciting to be part of a business that's over 115 years old while still continuing to grow and improve. I'm genuinely excited about where we're headed.

Cons

This won't be a negative for everyone, but it's worth knowing that this is a place for people who are motivated and want to perform at a high level. The expectations are real, and everyone is expected to contribute. I don't take my work home with me, but while I'm at work, I'm fully engaged. You will never be bored, and you will always be challenged. For the right person, that is a great thing. If you enjoy pushing yourself and being part of a team focused on achieving results, you'll likely fit in well here.

Pros

Many of the coworkers and mid-level managers are nice, The galley is beautiful. Its fun to be in the French Quarter. You learn a lot. The pay and benefits are better than a lot of places in New Orleans, but you'll EARN every penny of it through the sweat of your brow. The company will probably remain solid in this age of oligarchs.

Cons

They expect 24/7/365 availability. Your expected workload is beyond what any one person can do. No matter how hard you work, upper management thinks you are slacking. Nothing is ever good enough. And there is zero, absolutely zero, hope for advancement.
