Pros
Flexibility while raising my kids. Will hire almost anyone and give them a chance.
Cons
Look, I worked for RDS for a long time as a data collector and today they sent me an inquiry to come back so I checked glass door and verified what I thought. It was good back 15 years ago. Them about 5 years ago they changed the pay structure. Really, though, I did this job while my kids needed mommy to be there after school and it worked well. I am educated and after 8 years as a data collector, several times operating with no supervisor, I decided to apply for the manager role and was turned down. After 8 years knowing well what to do, understanding the business, caring about my job, and a person who had worked in corporate world before and held a bachelor degree, they hired someone else. So no matter what you think, the data collector is the bottom of the bucket. I felt totally undervalued and most days wanted to quit. In always did my job. Lost sleep getting in deadlines just about weekly. But in the end, as a person who has been back to my career for awhile, nobody at RDS will even add me to their LinkedIn network. You might think that I was maybe a bad employee and that is why I was passed over but it's not. I know I did a good job. I was the go to whenever anyone dropped the ball. It is just the view of the data collector. The job is dead end. Never a raise in 10 years. Only more work and less pay.
