Pros

Unlimited PTO though depending on your manager will be frowned upon if taken Remote work Benefits were decent and wellness stipend A lot of company paid holidays

Cons

Like all companies backed by Private Equity firms, they only care how much money they can get from the company. If they can find a way to save a dollar they’ll lay off whole departments. They’ve lost any semblance of the company they used to be. Not to mention there is no room for growth unless you’re part of the “in” circle. They do whatever they can to make everyone think the company is great asking them to leave reviews and fill out “anonymous” surveys, but don’t fall for it it’s a dumpster fire behind the curtain

Pros

- none. this company is soul suckingly inefficient and they prefer it that way

Cons

- the most dishonest and toxic work environment that I have ever been a part of - the most unqualified management that I have come across (I have worked across numerous agencies - the work is sketchy at best and clients are grossly over billed. Pressuring employees to over bill clients and trying to force inaccurate or incomplete work through the purposely inefficient review processes is common practice at RC - if you do not over bill your clients your managers will begin to micromanage you in a manner that hints at you not doing enough. - Account teams know nothing about media or advertising and make the most uninformed promises to clients and that media activation is constantly on the hook and being blamed for - they hire very little or no men in general. this place is like a toxic middle school atmosphere, it is truly exhausting to be a part of. - managers will routinely insult you in a way you've never been insulted before at work and nothing will be done about it - information is usually gate kept and teams will prevent you from doing your job while management is asking that you contribute more.
