Pros

Helping customers with countless problems. Making a difference on a daily-basis. Not micro-managed. Positive atmosphere and great management. Fellow sales reps help one another out.

Cons

Equipment sometimes unavailable. Not really a con, but I’d say they need to increase fleet to improve availability

Pros

Good for growth if you are young and want experience to get a better job elsewhere

Cons

Old management is completely dysfunctional. Many old hats who have been there for over 20+ years are incompetent and will not allow for any growth in the company. They look down on anyone who is young, organized, professional, and ambitious. Its really unfortunate but the company is losing many good people because of this - lots of turnover, no leadership, horrendous fleet assets, sales mngt team that does nothing but stare at numbers, give everything away, and get bonuses for doing it I would not recommend this company for anyone looking for a career

Where good managers go to die

Pros

There are a few good folks in Bakersfield who really try to help the branches, but they are far outnumbered by arrogant, overpaid corporate hacks who treat branches like annoyances. Apparently it never occurred to these stiffs that their paychecks are paid by the sweat of the sales and operations people who toil 24/7 pumping sewage.

Cons

Garbage equipment, outdated IT systems, a horrible quote/CRM program, mountains of reports and paperwork, inadequate training at all levels, useless HR staff and policies, and the morally bankrupt Bakersfield clan mentioned above. It's no wonder branch management turnover is 30-50% per year. The managers who hang on typically worked their way up from installer or truck driver and don't know any better. Those who come from outside RFR quickly realize how much of a train wreck it is and quit or are forced out for not drinking the koolaid. My advice to anyone considering a managerial job in any RFR branch is KEEP LOOKING. YOU CAN DO BETTER.
