Good health, vision and dental insurance.

High employee turnover. Offsite employees feel like a number to upper management. Upper management has lost touch with their employees at least in my location.

Riverside Research Response

Thank you for sharing your experience at Riverside Research. As a not-for-profit company, Riverside Research does not pay dividends to stakeholders, which enables us to reinvest back to our employees as well as other company-wide initiatives. We are pleased you appreciated the benefits we offer. We recognize that communication with employees located at remote locations can be challenging. As a well-dispersed company, we are always looking for innovative ways to improve communication. Through our monthly newsletters, leadership company-wide emails, and customer site visits we have been most successful. We appreciate your constructive feedback.
