Where should I start? Worst company I have ever worked for. I made the mistake of ignoring glassdoor.com reviews before I accepted the position. That was a huge mistake......
It is a culture of paranoia and criticism. It is referred to as "coaching", to put it mildly. But rest assured it is criticism. If I hear "let me offer you some coaching" I think I will lose it.
Most are "managing" their careers vs. managing the business. With this being said you will get stabbed in the back in a heart beat for bringing fresh, innovative ideas to move the company forward. If you do not fall in line you become a victim of the "forced ranking" that no one wants to fall victim to but all will eventually. Average turnover is 2 years, literally.
Senior Management are absolute morons. They are hypocrites in regards to their "feedback" as they will often make the same mistakes and have no clearly defined strategy or ounce of leadership ability. I have been part of meetings and asked myself "did I just hear that?" They break ever fundamental principal of sound business.
Rain Bird claims to value its customers but frankly it is all lip service. They place no value on their "distributor partners" and will create as much chaos for them as possible. Contractors are defecting very quickly as RB now is competing not only against the distributor but now the contractor with an online store (selling it less than what they can sell to a homeowner).
Trust me, most of the posts here are legit and frankly, well written. I get a chuckle at the feedback referencing the metal detectors. It is true, why I am not sure. I mean everything is mostly made from plastic. No one smiles in the corp. office. Feels like a morgue. Toxic...
Stay away if you value your dignity.
