Bad management everywhere

Recommend

Pros

Decent pay, fun co-workers, good benefits

Cons

No training, awful upper management only looking at their potential for bonuses. Branch has little or no actual decision making ability. You can't fire anyone even if they are incompetent or stealing from you. You have to send all your good equipment out to other branches and pay to get crap in from other places. Very very badly ran. Anyone that has any respect for themselves or any integrity won't last long here. All the good employees quit within 2 years. The ones that stay...... Well they are the problems.

That 70s Company

Recommend

Pros

Ability and freedom to accomplish tasks the way you think will work best in the field. Ability to try new things and acquire new skills. I found the dental, and 401K plan were very adequate.

Cons

RFR has stacks of paperwork required to do just about anything with a real 70s feel. I swear you can hear "Sky Rockets In Flight" when you walk into one of their branches. Supervisors smoked in work trucks making a driving very unpleasant and unhealthy. Management preached safety but wouldn't fund it. Company claims to be "A safe environmentally responsible workplace." but actually could care less. You really need good old boy type connections or really suck up and turn to the dark side for any chance of real advancement. RFR has large amount of well pampered management and sales staff compared to workers. Very poor communication, direction and mentoring were the norm. Installations were rushed, chaotic and undermanned.

Pros

Rain for Rent is a great company, I admittedly was a little concerned based on the reviews here. In my experience I have been more than satisfied with national, regional, and branch level management! I feel completely at home here and highly recommend a career at Rain for Rent. I am in the Rocky Mountain Region, so perhaps that can guide potential expectations for anyone interested. Benefits are good and competitive, potential to affect your income is great, training is exceptional. Everyone I deal with really cares for the company and are thankful for their jobs. I am very happy on many levels. I can see a clear path for professional development.

Cons

My base pay is low in regards to my cost of living and professional experience. HR process took too long (4 months). To address some of the other reviews: "you're on your own." To a certain extent this has been true for me. However, I feel like I was provided the tools to ask the right questions to get where I wanted to go. I am somewhat clear in my own personal objectives though. I can see how an employee could feel like they don't have the support, but you have to ask for it and utilize the many resources available to you. I have a great team to rely on with other salesman who have been very forthcoming with knowledge and time.
