Pros

The compensation is great. They hire pretty great people for the most part. They prefer that their customer service representatives have a master's degree for cryin' out loud...that's not a joke.

Cons

They hire great people, but they don't really care about retention. They'll hire the best, use every ounce of their soul because every department is under-staffed, tell them they do a so-so job and shrug their shoulders when those great people decide to leave. I've seen some excellent people come and go through the Rain Bird Revolving Door (complete with metal detectors on the way in AND out). Also, the vacation is pretty stingy. It's a running joke throughout the company.

Pros

Steady regular pay check. Job satisfaction depends a lot on who you report too. If your direct supervisor is a good manager Rain Bird can be a rewarding place to work. If looking to work for Rain Bird it is better to be stationed somewhere other than Tucson.

Cons

Very inflexible. Rain Bird has very little loyalty to staff. Everybody is considered replaceable at any time. The job satisfaction is dependant on your direct supervisor. If you are reporting to a less than ideal manager there is very little you can do to take issues on step up the ladder. Staff turnover makes many simple questions difficult to find answers to.
