Rain For Rent reviews about "manager"

Smaller company. Had a bad coworker and Manager that made my experience bad there but it may not be the case for everyone.

Not cost competitive - competition wins business because pricing too high Managers are not always good managers (people) and some do not understand good business practices Push very hard - too much stress No team building

Garbage equipment, outdated IT systems, a horrible quote/CRM program, mountains of reports and paperwork, inadequate training at all levels, useless HR staff and policies, and the morally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.

Management is very indecisive. Opps manager has no experience in this type of work and will take credit for your work. Another employee that works in the shop is very abusive,will threaten to have you fired,and will tell lies about your work ethic all while riding the clock taking over time without doing any work. This person has had at least 2 people fired or takes credit for it and openly braggs about it. This person was also fired from another job for talking inappropriately towards women. Actually telling everyone that they work with about it. Unfortunately Management has tied themselves to this person for "his extensive knowledge of pumps" although he couldn't answer all questions about the pumps or the installation. Management was informed of a sewer over flow into a local lake/neighborhood because the bypass pump head was broken and it was ignored like it was routine. Instead of taking action to clean it up they turned their head away and said "I didn't see that" or tell the employee "don't send videos like that to the group work chat." Also be aware that this branch doesn't make the companies who rent their equipment sanitize after use. They only have them flush the pumps,tanks,and pipes with water from a fire hydrant. Also the paperwork and verbal request for the hepatitis C&B vacations went unanswered and was never given the vaccine that they are required to give employees. One employee said that being exposed to it will make your immune system stronger than a vaccine. "Like a kid that eats their boogers." An actual quote from a management team member. If you're on the job and you take a lunch break they expect you to eat your lunch while fusing used sewer pipe that was never sanitized from the previous job it was on. They actually shame you if you sit down and eat your lunch. Last thing is that the office manager makes more than the installer,a lot more.

Not all managers are excellent, so in some regions, there would have been lots of internal barriers to closing deals

-Low Pay -Lazy manager that spends the day sitting in the office vaping the day away -Driving monitoring system that alerts management of your going 1 mph over speed limit, but management complains because you take too long to drive to a jobsite….??? -Dirty, hot, no respect -Mechanic is a duschbag -They violate the Stormwater Pollution Protection act by washing chemical catcher in the yard that flows into a nearby ditch.
