Pros

Unlike other posters who have trashed the company, I had a pretty positive experience working at RB for several years. I worked with a diverse group of well-educated folks, including many who took the time to mentor me as I progressed in my career. I had the opportunity to make a couple of career moves during my tenure and was able to leverage these experiences and skills into great opportunities after I left Rain Bird. The pay was competitive, benefits OK and at least in my positions, I had some autonomy on managing my projects with oversight from my supervisors.

Cons

I agree partially with the comments from the other folks who have reviewed the company. I did manage to survive various layoffs during my tenure, but saw colleagues come and go more frequently that I would have preferred. The company provides very little training in general, so you must be a self-starter who thrives on a changing environment in order to succeed. When I started, there seemed to be quite a few talented folks in the employee pool and several years later when I left, the morale was much different and folks coming in did not seem as qualified...perhaps because it was harder to recruit to Tucson...

Pros

Lots of freedom and independence, not much micro management, can come up with cool ideas.

Cons

Hard to advance, people stay in their spots for a long time, remote employees excluded from advancement in general. Benefits are bad, health care terrible. 401k match is weak
