Don't Work Here

Pros

None anymore, was ok years ago.

Cons

Sexual harassment, employees sleeping with management and it getting covered up through promotions/transfers. Retaliation against those who complain about sexual harassment. Little room for advancement through honest means. Metrics have been lowered to an unreasonable level while only taking 1-3% of your work as a sample size for quality. Managers have direct control over how much of your work is reviewed and therefore the ability to skew your performance numbers. PTO is both inadequate, hard to use, and often frowned upon. They post fake reviews on Glassdoor which are obvious to all, "Philly's Best Workplaces" is not something an employee cares about or would tout, that is an HR representative's advertisement, and worse, that same review was responded to by HR (so HR talking to themselves?) in such a manner that just proceeded to tout false positives to employment there. If Reed Tech is such a great place to work...why are they now so desperate for data entry employees that they have tripled their referral bonus to 750$?

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review of Reed Tech on glassdoor. Reed Tech takes all allegations of sexual harassment very seriously and vigorously investigates any claims that are reported or we uncover. We even offer a confidential independent corporate hotline that employees can you to report any concerns. We are not aware of anything that has not been thoroughly investigated.

Data Entry

Anonymous employee

Pros

Nice facility, good co-workers, employee events like tickets giveaways and occasionally free lunches. Pretty decent pay for a data entry job that is very low stress.

Cons

It is a very boring job due to its repetitive nature, lots of office politics make it difficult to get promoted, but the managers and supervisors are overall nice and do the best they can most of the time.

Pros

Good people to work with. Longevity. The managers are good people. The employees genuinely believe in their work and strive to do right. We have employees with GENERATIONS of family working here. I haven't seen that at anywhere else I've worked.

Cons

Annual incentive program is not pleasant. The benefits are good, but the medical and 401K contributions are getting worse by the year. I suspect it's the same for many companies.

Pros

The company can actually be split into three parts. The government contract business which is mostly made up of data entry. They have had this contract for decades and service the PTO well. This business is stable. It provides a good work from home option for many. It also is the lion share of the company's revenues. The next vertical is intellectual property solutions (IP) that on the whole have underachieved. The product that is in the largest revenue segment has been plagued by problems since it relaunched in 2016, They keep on reorganizing the organization hoping that will help build revenues including bringing on a new CEO. The CEO is out to prove himself so he can move on to bigger and better pastures. This division is high pressure and difficult. The third is the life sciences business. You have a lot of stars on this team on the product, marketing, and sales teams. They are under a lot of pressure to perform and, in general, are up to the task. The general manager stepped in the position with an amazing foundation handed to him and likes to take all the credit. He is the only weak link on an otherwise brilliant team. Behind the scenes in HR, the senior director, is seasoned and fair. He does not put up with ANY sort of discrimination. He is open-minded and easy to talk to about any concerns you may have.

Cons

IP team has been and continues to be in disarray. The continuous re-orgs are not going to help the significant underlying problems. It is a small company, so opportunities for career growth are limited. If you are looking to move up quickly within one organization, this is not it. Health benefits are not great. As a healthy employee, I always ended up paying a lot more into it than I ever got out of it.
