Pros

Red River was a great company to work for before Cerberus bought us in 2021.

Cons

The management and company initiatives that made Red River a great company to work for over many years were pushed out by the new owners. Ownerships focus is clearly only on profit and getting salaried employees to work 80 hour weeks. I miss the way it used to be

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.
