Pros

hahaha ha haha hahaha ha

Cons

A culture of paranoia and uncertainty; no one is secure in their role. Once an innovator, now dysfunctional and bureaucratic, Rain Bird struggles to deliver growth and breakthrough innovations, opting instead to copy existing technology, still failing to deliver. Contrary to the words of management (there are no leaders at Rain Bird), mediocrity is expected, it is dangerous to take risks, drive innovation, or suggest a change. The owner and his group of henchmen all display limited cognitive ability, running the company like it is 1977. If you choose to ignore the vast number of warnings and join the company, prepare yourself for a slow disintegration of your joy and confidence. Extremely high turnover in all of the manufacturing plants keeps an inept quality department busy and full of self-gratification, rarely solving problems promptly, usually blaming the customer. The birds' wings were clipped many years ago; do not join this failing joke of a company.

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
