Really great, and sometimes not

Indeed Featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
Some in HR management really appreciate employees, do company outing 2 to 4 times a year, and large events that boosts employee morale. Sadly, there's mismanagement preferential treatment, and nepotism. Generally you're stuck at the pay you were hired on, any pay raise is pocket change, extremely difficult to move up in rank. Workflow can get really busy and this is throughout all the departments, this turns into more financial reward, at the expense of your health and personal/family life. Workplace culture is strange, there is a huge divide between the blue collar and white collar people, those in upper management sales and marketing are given all the spoils while the people on the ground building, testing, designing get scraps and are looked down upon.

Steer clear of this place!

If you happen to get hired to this company through select Staffing I recommend you just walk out the door right then and there. This place is absolutely awful! The people here are so rude even when you're new and especially if you are a temp. The "management" if you cold even call them that are such a mess, they never know what is going on. it's not even worth the experience or the $18.

Pros

None

Cons

Management, toxic environment...etc

Great work Environment - Great People, Confusing Leadership

Everyone and everything was great. Leadership was just never given full ability to manage. The owner and the few that were there to start the company really make every decision and everyone else is pretty expendable.

Detrimental Work Environment

Lack of leadership. Fear based management. Leadership does not follow through on commitments. Young work culture. Good introduction to sales based simply on the fact that you had to learn or leave.

Good

I like this place. This place is fun. They give u some good things. They try to make work better for you. They sometimes get you to go to places. I don't feel like I'm stuck there.

what I learned

the job was a great experience to step foot into building a network to make sure that the goals are made or exceeded every month. however when we got laid off there was no such thing as head up they called us the same day they laid us off without a legitimate reason for why the rush of laying people off

Productive and fun workplace

Its a fast-paced job and you are given a specific amount of time for each task. Everyone is nice and will help if you have any questions. Good for people who are okay with working OT during the week and working some Saturday's.

Had a good culture and direction, not anymore

Was a good company with good direction until recently. I had the opportunities to learn more and promote my professional growth. The workplace culture was beyond any other employer I've worked with. I truly enjoyed working for Red, but now the company has taken a turn for the worse with several layoffs, due to poor management and financial decisions. Not certain of the company's future and direction, but looks bleak.

Overall Review

Lots of overtime available, learn new things everyday if you really put the effort, management lacked communication, especially HR. Workplace was good but not great. I believe that the hardest part of the job was to deal with inconsiderate people, and favoritism was a big thing. The most enjoyable part of the job was able to work with people that recognized your hard work.

Pros

free lunches after a 12+ hr shift

Cons

healthcare, benefits, Pto

Too stressful

I am not able to have a life of my own with this schedule. It is time consuming and they dont pay enough money for my role, poor communication skills from superiors and do not ask if we are able to stay and work, we are obligated to stay OT. It feels like there are preferences with individuals.

Pros

I would receive a paycheck for my job

Cons

Too many hours and obligated to stay for OT

Fast Paced Company

Demanding fast paced working environment often with last minute deadlines and projects. A larger company with many perks including travel and training, however lacking structure and real control on material spending and employee efficiencies. I enjoyed the challenges encountered daily on the job also the my immediate team and counterparts were essential in my success. The hardest part of the job was going through 4-5 executive management changes, each team brings in a different mindset and unfortunately the vision and appreciation for hard work was lost once the last executive team came on board. It turned into a referral promotion program where the individuals that weren't necessarily most qualified for promotions were given positions because they were friends with the hiring mangers.

Pros

Training, promotion opportunities, travel

Cons

Commute, loss of vision and direction, turnover rate.

Great Product, Terrible Management

If RED would replace its entire upper management team, the company could be unimaginably successful. Alas, the person who could make that change is too busy being constructive with the engineers--and I applaud the work completed by him and his team--but this gives him little time to speak with and understand the rest of the people working under his roof.

Pros

People are optimistic.

Cons

That optimism eventually sours.

Team Atmosphere

We wear a lot of different hats and work alongside every department to accomplish daily tasks. We cross-train all our team members to maximize output. We are more than a team we are like family.

Looking to Sell

They are going thru changes and management is has been rotating out because they simply want to sell the business. It has an Issue where there is not enough IT support and that the upstairs and downstairs dont see eye to eye. If you keep your head down and do your job you can last but dont expect things to make sense in the company's allot of run around happens.

Pros

Oakley Benefits
