Pros

They will hire you because they are always desperately needing people but the turnover rate is ridiculously high.

Cons

This place is a sweatshop with unrealistic standards.but they really do not value you at all. You will be held to standards before they are created or you were made aware as well. You will be punished for a sort of metric of the week mentality where they only know the stick and never the carrot.

Pros

Awesome management, excellent work life balance and high expectations. Absolutely LOVED my role here, my team and my boss. They expect a lot and will treat you right if you are a hard worker and honest employee.

Cons

I resigned after a change in CSuite leadership (CEO, President of our Department etc), and other layoffs I felt changes were coming and wanted to get ahead of those. I resigned however loved working for Red River and would work for them again if the opportunity presented itself. True professionals.
