Pros

Unlimited PTO was a nice perk

Cons

They micro managed people a lot, are not good with documentation so any new hire has to learn as he goes and guess or ask a lot of questions to figure out system

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback, it is appreciated. We’re happy to provide Unlimited PTO, and glad that you enjoyed that benefit. We acknowledge that there is a learning curve with every job. With a new position, there will naturally be questions and learning on the job. As you mentioned, documentation can be very helpful in this start up phase, and we do emphasize to our teams to keep documentation of standard operating procedures. We are sorry to hear that you feel this was not the case in your experience. We will continue to emphasize this point to our teams. In regards to management, we provide manager training to ensure everyone is starting with a solid foundation, however, each manager’s style of leadership can differ. We encourage all our team members to communicate with their managers to ensure expectations are matching up, as well as getting answers to any questions they may have in regards to documentation and onboarding. We appreciate your feedback, and if you have any additional or specific comments, we are happy to listen and discuss if you would like to email HR@redriver.com.

Pros

Awesome management, excellent work life balance and high expectations. Absolutely LOVED my role here, my team and my boss. They expect a lot and will treat you right if you are a hard worker and honest employee.

Cons

I resigned after a change in CSuite leadership (CEO, President of our Department etc), and other layoffs I felt changes were coming and wanted to get ahead of those. I resigned however loved working for Red River and would work for them again if the opportunity presented itself. True professionals.
