Pros

free health insurance good commissions for top performers (I'm one so I'm ok with the comp plan even though it changes every month) convenient location more mature workforce - probably only temporary until the job market gets better and we can find REAL jobs

Cons

No paid holidays other than Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day for Agents. Corporate closes for a whole week and Christmas and gets every Federal holiday off with pay - as matter of fact, my Christmas vacation request was DENIED due to workforce needs - cause heaven forbid we don't have enough people selling over the holidays Those pictures you see on facebook of "company trips" - those are for corporate ONLY - as a matter of fact, just looked at some of those pictures and have no idea who any of those people are - they must work upstairs (agents are downstairs) Constant threat of losing job - memos after each job fair from Managers saying "see those people, they want your job and they can have it if you don't want to be here, so sell, or leave" Monthly change in comp plans - don't want too many people making too much money Crazy hours - if you have a family, they don't care - you can have a 3 month old baby and be assigned to work from 3-midnight every day (or work weekends) - and if you don't like your schedule, there's someone waiting to take your place "Charlotte's Best Places to Work" survey - not optional - when only a few agents filled it out online, HR came around with paper forms and told the managers to have all agents complete the survey that day - then managers put the agents initials on the sealed envelope to know who wrote what - nice anonymous survey...I was honest on mine and mailed it from home best way to describe Red Ventures - WHITE COLLAR SWEAT SHOP - the agents are in desperate need of union organization to come in and make things right I have seen some pretty outrageous behavior from management - cannot believe the way some manager talk to the agents - it's a lawsuit waiting to happen

Pros

I have been working at Red Ventures for several years now, and I absolutely love my job! I thrive in our faced paced, work-hard play-hard environment. After getting settled in for the day, next thing I know, its time to go home already. In addition to a fun place to work, the senior management team is always visible, and they have great ideas and plans to continue to make us even more successful. Also, the benefits are awesome and include: - Excellent medical/dental insurance (company pays almost all of the premium) - 401k with company match - Lots of vacation including the week off between Christmas and New Years

Cons

A common complaint from interview candidates is our stringent long interview process, however I think this is actually a plus for both Red Ventures as well as the candidate. Most candidates that make it through the process stick around for a long time, as there are no surprises once they are hired.
