Reworld reviews

Senior Management is focused on Lean Manufacturing to a fault, with no concept of the practical aspects of running a facility. The entire senior management team consists of former GE employees, and they bring the toxic GE culture with them. The company is cut throat and the managers enjoy publicly humiliating and belittling employees. The facilities are old and in need of maintenance, but there is little interest in investing in them, making the place largely unsafe. As a manager, you get asked to do things that are unethical. There is too much of a DEI push. Managers will interfere in the day to day decisions of their direct report managers and make personnel decisions around their managers. I left the company because my manager and HR were interfering too much in my business preventing me from executing the goals that were given to me when I started. As a manager, you get no support from your managers. They belittle and intimidate you rather than motivate you. They manage by fear. Long-tenured employees have been pushed out without getting taken care of (medical bridge, retirement, etc). Bottom line - culture is toxic, management does not support personnel, workplace is generally unsafe due to lack of investment. Stay away.

It is a major corporation, so it is definitely a corporate atmosphere. There is a lot of time spent justifying everything to corporate as well as to clients (for client-owned facilities). This can be very frustrating especially during busy times where you are trying to get your job done, and done well. The jobs here can be intense in that way, where it seems like there is meeting after meeting where you justify and discuss, but not get anything actually accomplished. There is a major disconnect between corporate and facilities that can be very frustrating. For example, we are currently forced to use one vendor for branded items even though that vendor has shown poor performance and costs more than sourcing locally for branded items. And the only shirt color we can wear for events is black (terrible choice for hot days since most events are outdoors). No wiggle room here from corporate so far, but hoping this will change. You have to fight for what is right with your facility. Once you get through that, it isn't too bad. The cons listed above can be found at most corporate companies... Reworld overall is a great company to work for.
