Pros

The pay is pretty decent and the benefits are great. The company is also good at flexible scheduling and supporting the education of it's employees.

Cons

There is little to no morale and it is a rather depressing place to work. If you come in with no hopes of advancing in your career, then you picked the right place.

Pros

The company hires the best personnel and the compensation package is competitive. There is plenty of opportunity to work autonomously and be responsible for your own success in the field.

Cons

A nine month derailment of my career. There is a reason why there are so many negative reviews associated with this employer..... Most of my peers who worked the southwest market are gone for a reason. They either got "laid off," Fired, or were the "rats jumping off a sinking ship." Those that are left are busy cleaning off their knives used to do the backstabbing. The upper management is more concerned about their own career than they will ever be in yours. If you excelled in the high school popularity department and you are more proud of your ability to speak french than developing and mentoring your subordinates, then maybe Rainbird holds a future for you. Or if you just need a career vacation, then maybe Rainbird is for you. Plan on your tenure being in the upper 50 percentile after your first year. After two years, you will either quit, be laid off, or fired, unless you fit the unique dysfunctional management structure of this company. My advice for anyone seeking employment in this industry.... don't believe any positive review written about Rainbird, and seek employment with Hunter!
