Good right out of college; unstable in the long term - Anonymous employee Reynolds and Reynolds Employee Review

Pros

Best as a job right out of college. Pay is low but experience is critical, especially in the current job market. As such, I believe that ReyRey is a good deal if one didn't make too many plans for after graduation. However, it seems as if senior people are being laid off frequently, and car dealerships right now are getting absolutely hammered. As such, the long term prognosis for ReyRey is really hard to gauge, and if the Big 3 go under then it might be a very difficult couple of years. Therefore, the experience is useful, and ReyRey is best only as a short term option.

Cons

As mentioned already, the compensation is fairly low. This is completely fine for right after college, but I might suggest looking at other companies if you plan to have children or have high student loans to pay off. The wages are simply too low to maintain a reasonable standard of living, particularly at entry level, although the low cost of living in Texas helps offset this somewhat. Management seems a bit confused; directives do not necessarily make sense, nor are they explained coherently. Job responsibilities can be very vague or incomplete, which is a bit frustrating-- the lack of direction makes working at ReyRey harder than should be the case.

Pros

Free lunch, the other technical writers are nice to work with. Company benefits have improved in recent years.

Cons

Incompetent DOC Management will drive even the nicest writers away from the company. If you work as a technical writer, you will be underpaid, overworked, and micromanaged. The people in the DOC department are treated differently from others in the company solely because of DOC management rules. For example, supervisors will go through your desk and drawers each week as part of cube inspections, and there are strict rules about what you can and can't have in or on your desks. Because other departments do not do this, the DOC department looks much more sad and gray than the rest of the company. Your badge tracks you at all times throughout the building. If you go to an area of the building that you don't work in, there are good odds management will ask you about that. Management does not care about the tech writers. It's turned even the nicest and most positive people negative towards the department. There are nearly zero writers who have been there longer than 1 year that are positive towards the department. Turnover in the department is crazy. Someone leaves on average every 2 months, so nearly the entire department is different in just 2 or 3 years. Even though the cafeteria is free, the food can be hit or miss.
