Red Ventures reviews

As a phone agent I steadily progressed from one division to the next and eventually promoted to what most agents consider the top selling/commission division in the company. I was no flash in the pan having been on the phones for over two years. Then as had happened to others during my tenure I was pulled into a room one day after making yet another killer sale for the company. They started to quiz me about a call I sold months ago. Of course I really didn't remember it since you know, WE MAKE 100+ DAILY CALLS. Next thing I knew I was told to go home as I dispositioned the call incorrectly and then let go the next day. While I was stunned at this turn of events at least my earnings would be paid out or RV would have had a wrongful termination suit on it's hands. Bottom line ALWAYS WATCH YOUR BACK!

Absolutely no work/life balance. Managers are all young and have little to no training, so they're horrible. RV seems to either not care about this, or senior management is blind to it. The culture is very, very clique and sorority/fraternity type. Recruiting will say it's all about uniqueness, but in reality if you don't fit a very specific mold, you're out. If you don't drink the Koolaid, you're out. There's a HUGE amount of dating within the company - it's almost encouraged. A huge con of the "flat" organization - there is no middle management. You're either straight out of college, or have 10+ years and an MBA. No middle ground, so most people make their way out at year 2 (if they last that long). RV has some very unsavory business practices for the industry, but corporate employees seem to really get off on "tricking" people. Recruiting model is volume based, even for corporate. They hire a bunch of college kids, throw them in the deep end (very little job-related on-boarding) and see who sticks. If your manager doesn't like you, you're done, no matter how good your work is.
