RGIS Reviews

Current Employee – been working at RGIS part-time for less than a year

Pros – Friendly people, easy work, decent pay. Excellent summer job for a teenager or college student .Great job if you are looking to supplement your income. If you can work production you have a great chance to make decent money.

Cons – Traveling long distances to do four or 5 hours worth of work, no mileage compensation, scare tactics. Manager told us at training that people from corporate were sitting and watching us through a security camera in the ceiling of the store. Not a good job for someone needing full time hours and benefits. One break per shift. Work can be tiring at times. Not a good position for someone with health issues This is not an ideal job if you have small children because sometimes you have to work 3rd shift.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop the scare tactics and do not talk to me about my former job which is your competitor. My former employer used to work for RGIS and I was told the reasons that he left/ was terminated. None of my business. Thoughts like that need to be kept to one's self. Don't assume all people who come to work for you are desperate or stupid. Scare tactics are childish and unprofessional. Your 10 keys are hard to use.

Current Employee – been working at RGIS part-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Flexible schedule for part time employees. Varied work locations so not too repetitive. Fairly easy work most of the time.

Cons – Little opportunity for advancement; managers tend to keep there positions for a long time. No rewards or recognition for being a dependable, hard worker. Hourly pay cap. Once you reach top tier, no more raises. Productivity expectations are sometimes unreasonable. Possible long drives for only a few hours of work; basically working for gas in those situations. Demotions and pay cuts are possible if you don't meet quarterly expectations.

Advice to Senior Management – Remove pay cap and reward your dependable workers.

Former Employee – worked at RGIS part-time for less than a year

Pros – -Paid training, hotel, travel, decent pay, chance for pay increases, and it's an easy job. If your car gets good gas mileage then I recommend driving yourself. Their travel pay is an easy way to make some extra money and it's nice to have your own transportation while you're away from home.

Cons – They lay you off May - June 15th. There could have been more compensation for being on the road 4 days out of the week and having to share a hotel room with someone you may not know. Personally, I don't get excited to share a hotel room with a stranger after working a long day and not getting much sleep.

Former Employee – worked at RGIS part-time for more than 7 years

Pros – An employee could set their own days and hours of availability and there was room to move up if desired.

Cons – You need to 10key and count pretty quickly and counting can be hard on your knees at times, good luck!

Advice to Senior Management – Management needs to develop better communication within the company, especially w/new, lower level employees and they need better benefits.

Current Employee – been working at RGIS part-time

Pros – I gained experience in different areas of the company while working for this company by first being an inventory auditor, then a team leader and finally, a part-time secretary. I also enjoyed being able to meet a great amount of people and see many different towns while traveling out of town to do inventories.

Cons – I would say that the only downsides of working at RGIS would be that sometimes the hours are either very early in the morning or late at night when stores are closed. Also, not all stores have monthly inventories, some do them quarterly, others do them semi-annually and yet there are the ones who only do them yearly in January. This makes the beginning of the year very busy for the company but also makes their employees very weary from being stretched so thin, sometimes with little time between stores. Then other times of the year are really slow like October through December is one slow time that I remember.

Advice to Senior Management – Only positive things to say hear... you all do the best you can at running an efficient inventory while maintaining a balance that satisfies both the clients and the employees.

Current Employee – been working at RGIS part-time for more than a year

Pros – You will likely form close bonds with your coworkers, there is great potential for getting more hours of work, and theoretically there is room for advancement.

Cons – You will get yelled at. The schedule is unreliable--you might be scheduled for twenty, but a store is canceled, other stores finish faster, and you get fifteen. Alternatively, you are scheduled for twenty and one runs long, and you end up with an additional ten hours in one store. Shift start times can range from 0230 to 2100. You will only get your schedule in Saturday-Friday lumps, and only one week in advance. Any absences must be called in at least twenty one days in advance--failure to do so can result in termination. You will get yelled at.

Advice to Senior Management – Management should really yell less at the employees, especially when even management admits that there was no mistake or error in the employees actions.

Former Employee – worked at RGIS

Pros – Starting pay is more than minimum wage, and you can get several raises after that.
You never get bored you are in a different place everyday, meeting new people.
Many of your coworkers are very nice, as well as a lot of the management

Cons – You need to drive your own car to a lot of the jobs that could be 40 miles of more one way.
The hours can be very long, and can take a lot out of you, sometimes you feel your life is all RGIS.

Advice to Senior Management – Improve the health insurance, and offer more employee benefits.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at RGIS for more than 10 years

Pros – stable, new CEO slayed the 3 headed dragon of previous management

Cons – to much estrogen in IT management placed there by previous CIO. New people brought in and put in charge of departments when they don't even know which way is up. previous CIO thought that everyone in IT was interchangable. Wait until the hospitals adopt that concept and have the janitory start performing surgery !You have people making six figures in the same group as people making half that money and doing twice the work of the over paid idiots.

Advice to Senior Management – people should be evaluated on their job knowledge and performance, those that perform, pay them what the new people are getting paid and get rid of the high paid underperformers.

Current Employee – been working at RGIS part-time for more than a year

Pros – As a college student, I'm fast and am able to navagate a 10-key really well. This lead to pay increases because I was moved from auditor to expert in a month.
Also, my father works for the company as an area manager and was able to get me more hours then most.

Cons – Sometimes there is long days and after working there a while, your knees and back start to hurt regularly. I'm 20 years old and have a back problem from the job.
If you're a young person, you will be bored because most the people working there are older.
