Company in a Tailspin

Pros

Was once a great place to work.

Cons

It didn't take long for the current CEO to run the company into the ground. Not sure the new COO is any better. A once prestigious company turned to trash. Employees leaving in droves and they don't seem to care.

Pros

Great people and hard workers.

Cons

Too many chiefs... Micromanage too much... The metrics are over bearing... Very low 401k match... high fees for funds Very minimal vacation allowance A LOT of overhead for the size of the company RTO with no valid reasons Pumping up share value for an upcoming wave of top senior management to cash out

Thank you for your candid feedback. We’re glad you’ve experienced the dedication of our hardworking team—that’s something we’re truly proud of. As an ESOP company, RETTEW adheres to all applicable federal regulations. Each year, our share price is determined by an independent, third-party valuation firm to ensure fair market value; leadership cannot inflate (“pump up”) the price. Employees earn shares over time at no cost, and as their dedication drives the company forward, value of these shares grows creating a meaningful retirement benefit. While employee ownership gives employees a financial stake in RETTEW’s success, the daily management decisions remain with our leadership team to ensure long-term stability and growth. At RETTEW, we continue to evolve as a 100% employee-owned company, and we know change can sometimes feel disruptive, especially during transitions like the shift to a three-day hybrid work model. We recognize not every decision will be popular, but they’re made with long-term growth, collaboration, and sustainability in mind. We continue to listen to our team, refine our practices, and strive for transparency. Feedback like yours helps us stay grounded in that effort.

Tone deaf management

Pros

There are some genuinely talented and caring coworkers. Decent benefits, including medical and 401k. Opportunities for remote work USED to exist, which WAS a major attraction.

Cons

They are implementing a rigid return to office policy with very little regard for the impact on employee health, well-being, or work-life balance. Exception requests, even well reasoned and documented ones are treated with suspicion and met with excessive red tape. Medical privacy is not respected in practice; while legally compliant, the level of personal information demanded for medical accommodation is, frankly, invasive and unethical. Management appears tone deaf to the growing number of resignations directly tied to the new policy, although they recently told us only one person left because of the policy, but that is hard to believe given the large amount of people who have left since the policy was announced. Communication around these policies has been misleading and dismissive, with forced positivity that does not match the reality on the ground.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. We know the transition to our three-day hybrid model has been difficult for some of our employees, and we understand the concerns raised around work-life balance, accommodation processes, and communication. These are areas we continue to review and improve. To assist with this transition, leadership listened to employee feedback and is incorporating a phased-in approach to our hybrid model. RETTEW is committed to treating all employee-owners with respect and fairness while balancing business needs and compliance. We know trust is built through actions, and while we may not always get it right the first time, we remain committed to growing and learning together.
