Rain For Rent reviews about "training"

Sometimes you will sit in the yard all day with nothing to do.

Total dumpster fire of an operation based on the business they are in. Lack of resources at the branch level and poor support at the corporate level. The daily paperwork and metrics are ridiculous. No training program or protocol for any position. Lack of respect for employees or their time.

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.

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.

The oilfield in Vernal is tough if you aren't a local. A lot of family relationships and the good old boys network determine whether deals get done. The branch in Vernal has been whittled down to almost nothing.

Garbage equipment, outdated IT systems, a horrible quote/CRM program, mountains of reports and paperwork, inadequate training at all levels, useless HR staff and policies, and the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

Sometimes forced for out of town and no availability to move up or training offered

Micromanaged all of the time. It is part of your Job to log every single second of your day.
