Pros

Co-worker therapy. Since the majority of people are looking to leave the company, there are a lot of people to talk to about the large range of emotions people are experiencing.

Cons

They sell you on a position and once on board change direction on you. If you push back or voice your opinion, the owner says you are not a cultural fit per their EOS management system. Yes, the company is literally run from the chapters of a book and you can not deviate. How can you claim to a be nimble and flexible company when you can't even have a meeting with a co-worker or ask a question to a superior outside of a scheduled weekly meeting. Companies should not be run this way. You can not trust leadership, the president or the chatty admins who "report" to the president on when people come/go and what people say in the office. It's actually laugh out loud sad.

Reed Construction Response
3y
Reed has a long, proud 129-year history as a General Contractor in Chicago and has adapted countless times to changing markets and circumstances over the last century. Reed's implementation of the Entrepreneurial Operation System (EOS) is a tool that supplements Reed's strong history of management and leadership in the construction industry and is used flexibly by management to ensure that regular streams of communication are open within and among teams. At Reed, we value open and honest communication, and EOS has never been used as the only means of communication, we always encourage informal and regular communication as well. Unfortunately, it sounds like Reed was not a cultural fit for you, however, we wish you all the best in your career.
