Pros

The company is filled with kind & helpful people for the most part. The culture is also good. Most people are good at their jobs. The benefits are solid. There are much, much worse places to work.

Cons

It often feels like Red Ventures has no real long-term plan or vision for any of their properties. They are unbelievably reactionary and pivot constantly (and not in a positive, "We're willing to adapt!" kind-of-way). Leadership at the vertical level is a revolving door of people, and every six months, verticals are restructured/reorganized to suit the latest "vision". It becomes exhausting because it feels like true progress is rarely ever made. If this was a publicly-traded company, Ric Elias would have been removed as CEO long ago.
