      Rain Bird is the best employer I've worked for

      Pros

      Pay is great. Work is challenging. Contrary to reports, Rain Bird does have concern for their line employees and unmentioned, many of them have 25 to 35 years at their positions. Rain Bird is spending a good deal on upgrading their technology. I also like it that Rain Bird is a pay as you go company - not fettered by any debt. Rain Bird will survive the current economic turmoil.

      Cons

      Turnover is high but this is also due to folks coming and using Rain Bird as a stepping stone. Times are tough and Rain Bird has to deal with a lot of issues remain profitable and decisions are going to cause a lot of hardship on many employees.

      To survive at Rain Bird you need to work more and complain less

      Pros

      It is a good salary, pays the bills. If you are honest and keep working hard you will survive. I don't think everything is bad with Rain Bird. Acknowledge goals are hard to reach, but such is life. You better work hard and complain less

      Cons

      Senior Management is not really looking for our opinion, most of top directives are at conflict with each other, there is little cooperation between working groups

      Steer clear of Rain Bird if you are searching for career growth opportunities!

      Pros

      Co-workers in general are great people ---- lots of teamwork among the engineers.

      Cons

      All the reasons posted in other reviews are relevant here! "Accountability Without Authority" should be the company slogan. Employee empowerment is non-existent. The bonus structure is intentionally rigged to guarantee that an employee cannot meet their goals that would trigger actually receiving a bonus. Most of the manufacturing is done in Mexico, and engineers are expected to spend lots of time down at the plants there making sure that production is actually taking place. There is no such thing as a "Production Engineer" at Rain Bird ---- it is expected that a design engineer will manage the production team.
