Pros

I’ve been with Rio for about 25 years. I started in the call center and have had many positions with Rio over the years and now one of five supply managers. I appreciate the opportunities to grow within the company. I find the work both challenging and enjoyable. The culture is unlike other companies that I have worked at in previous jobs. I find the people at Rio Grande do what they say and say what they mean. For me, the best “pro” is I’m given the opportunity to learn. Always with support and guidance and best of all, for me, is being allowed to learn through my own errors.

Cons

I would like to see a better 401K package and higher dollar matching.

Pros

Decent pay Good benefit package

Cons

From the moment I walked in, the place was very stuffy, while I understand that security is essential, the recruiter could have at least informed everyone that you will need to go through the security portals several times a day (including getting a wand used on you for a full patdown) even to get lunch. We are not allowed any personal items on the floor, must use a clear bag if we do bring anything, and all else must be kept in a locker. Please be advised that this is a warehouse, and on occasion, you will be exposed to silica dust, etc., which isn't good if you have health issues. It felt like a prison with us on lockdown. My commute was outrageous, they did not disclose that they were on the far northwest side of the city, and with gas prices, it just wasn't feasible to commit to that kind of a commute on the daily. The job itself is supposed to be hybrid, (which really isn't necessary any longer) but while working from home is a plus, on the days when we have to go into the office( and they were never clear on that) it is 25 miles from my location one way, and it just isn't worth it. I was informed during the interview that training would be about a month on-site, and it was my understanding, however, it was two days, then work from home. We were supposed to shadow with our team, but when I found out that wouldn't be happening, and with how rude the trainer was, I decided it wasn't for me. I felt like I had been given the runaround, and underpaid for the job we were supposed to do, which included returns, but were not informed until after the fact. They did not clearly explain what the job entailed, nor could define what their definition of hybrid was, I do not feel as if they knew what they wanted to do.
