      BEWARE!!! HR's role is to create "happy endings" ...... Annual employee turnover of 15% to 20% is not seen as a problem

      Pros

      Great People High Quality Product Market Driven Organization Viewed as an Industry Leader Privately held company - Investing for the future in a down economy

      Cons

      Little chance for advancement - your weaknesses or perceived weaknesses are identified early on with little chance of recovery; hence most higher level positions are filled with individuals from outside the organization whose weaknesses have not yet been identified (a vicious cycle). Employees have little or no industry experience ----- even those employees who are in contact with our customers A bunch of YES MEN form the Senior Staff.....Even they fear for their job as much as the other employees.

      Pros

      Manufacturing jobs are scarce and getting scarcer. Beggars can't be choosers. As bad as Rain Bird is, it beats unemployment. At this time Rain Bird's benefits package is competitive. As always, people are the number one reason for enjoying work. The Rain Bird plant that I work at is no exception, with a diverse group of people that enrich my daily routine. It is a shame, that Rain Bird's management style fosters such low morale that it takes persistent effort to stay positive, in spite of such a fine group of people to work with.

      Cons

      Academic achievement is the primary consideration of status at Rain Bird. Experience based knowledge is hardly counted. This results in a separation of common knowledge between middle (and upper) managers and the people they supervise. Management is in the dark about processes being performed by the people they are responsible for. There is a rigid caste system at work in the Rain Bird corporate culture that stifles initiative and enthusiasm. The plant manager does not know my name after more than nine months on the job. He has communicated with the rank and file at our Rain Bird plant only once to announce a layoff.

      Pros

      Pay, Great Colleagues, Great Brand

      Cons

      Highly Toxic, Churned Staff 25% Year, Fire or Be Fired. Fear. With high achievers it is tempting to ignore the warnings and proceed with an offer from Rain Bird. Do not make the mistake that many dozens have made. Run Don't Walk.
