Pros

The best part of Rio are the employees. About 90% of the employees are the best personally and professionally that a company could potentially hire. The benefits are good compared to what a lot of other companies offer. The job itself is a great job and very self rewarding.

Cons

Management is the biggest failing of the company. Everything is based on favoritism instead of qualifications and performance. There is no reward for working hard and going above and beyond. Those that are the laziest are the most rewarded and admired by management. They do not know what employees do and what their job tasks are therefore are incapable of being effective managers. They have no clue how to run a business and do not value the employees.
