Pros

The company overall has some strong areas and potential. Not all departments suffer from the same issues — some teams may provide a healthier environment. Opportunities may exist if you land in the right department with supportive leadership.

Cons

The department I worked in had a toxic culture marked by favoritism, poor communication, and lack of accountability. Management failed to intervene or set healthy standards, allowing dysfunction to grow unchecked. Career growth was limited due to arbitrary decisions and lack of support. The toxic environment overshadowed any positives and made collaboration difficult.

Mr. Rieth and Mr. Riley are probably rolling in their graves about now

Pros

I would agree with the other reviewers that the wage was adequate for the position. Their ESOP retirement plan is unmatched assuming it retains its value and you stay long enough to be full vested. Usually enough to keep you busy throughout the entire day even if some of it was busy work. Adequate benefits including healthcare and vacation.

Cons

The management has to be the worst part of Rieth-Riley. If you at all raise a question about something you think is wrong, might as well pack your bags. Married couples in management in the same department should never happen. Have a family? Not now, because you are expected to work 60 to 70 hrs a week. Want to plan for the weekend? Forget it, you can't plan anything since scheduling is a nightmare. Want to move up? Better have a degree because you are stuck where you are at if you don't. You also better know somebody in the company to get hired. If you don't, you are then the first to be let go.

Pros

Upper management very friendly to the employees. Go into very good detail when explaining something so you don't have to guess what they want. They try to get you involved in every aspect of the projects. Looks to be a very good company for upward growth. A very family oriented company to work for, they take work-life balance to heart here.

Cons

Lack in the technology area (still use paper time cards and scale drawings with a ruler). They could invest some money in that department. It would help with gathering information more quickly so more tasks could be taken on.

Terrible place to work

Pros

The stock is the only good thing about the place.

Cons

Terrible management. Everyone stays in their own department and they don't friend anyone from outside of that department. The longevity employees feel threatened by new employees so they make up stuff about you to get you fired. Fake people. Low pay. Work/life balance isn't there; it's work work work and for nothing. Your voice isn't heard ever; it only matters what the longevity or management says.
