Pros

Very good compensation. Good relocation package. Great location. Okay benefits.

Cons

A lot has been said in other reviews that pretty much sums up the company as a whole. It's not a healthy environment to work in. As for Senior Mgt and local plant management, Rainbird is full of managers, but I've never seen anyone I would call a leader. The plants and the company are highly political. My opinion of Rain Bird on the whole is not very high. However, I don't consider your coworkers as being much better than the company itself. Is it Rain Bird that makes them that way or is the nature of the people they hire? I think both. Your co-workers are ever ready to throw their fellow employees "under the bus", as they call it here. I've witnessed a lot of butt-kissing, much finger pointing by the workers, and a hostile environment that could be changed to some extent by the employees themselves. I've seen and talked to employees who have left, for one reason or another, never hear another word from their fellow employees. This is not the place you come to develop long term friendships. In summary, the company can be blamed for some of the ongoing problems and deficiencies, but let's own up to what's our responsibility.

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
