Pros

You'll come out knowing what red flags to look for in future career endeavors.

Cons

*Note: please use your judgment when reading these 5 star reviews. Many phrases are basically copied onto the pages of companies VERY similar to RRE all across the country* Strike I: RRE will wax poetic about the limitless growth and income opportunities you'll have in this groundbreaking marketing/PR firm before they absolutely have to come clean about what they do in the second round interview- sell products from booths in various stores around the state. Not sure what’s so groundbreaking about that, but that’s fine…a little misleading based on the 15 job descriptions they post on various sites (spoiler: they are all for the same position) but there’s nothing wrong with the nature of the work. Strike II: They guilt you into thinking that you need to sacrifice copious amounts of unpaid time to the business, that success comes from those who “put in the work”, etc. A select few may find some menial success, but their talents should be used in an environment that truly supports them. Strike III (disclaimer: this is not verified information, and I do not claim it as truth): Whatever company is the brains behind Red Rock Events seems to have a great number of basically identical firms all over the country. I noticed that one job description for RRE used language intended for Gulf Coast Events, located in Houston, Texas. They clearly try to appeal to locals with their company names, wanting you to think that this is not part of a national-level organization. Google one of the job titles and see just how many of these places are all over the US...all echoing the same critiques. There may be a slight possibility for success in this company if you’re an extroverted super-seller, but misleading information and smokescreen tactics seem to be pillars of their business model, and I just knew this wasn’t going to work out. They're endlessly hiring new "account managers" when there was only a team of three in the office...use your judgment and decide what's best for you and your career path.

Pros

It is not a traditional office. Everything that is done here isn't typical. It is upbeat, everyone is motivated and in a good mood. You will walk out of morning meetings feeling like you can conquer the world. Each and every person in this office is there to help you grow professionally and personally. It's a business of people building people.

Cons

Unfortunately, this business isn't for everyone. This is for those that are dedicated and motivated to grow professionally and personally. There's help every step of the way but it's up to you to put in the work. Are you willing to put in as much hard work as possible to grow? Working hours don't always coincide with what you want to do personally, but just know that the hours you do put in will pay off in the end. You have to look at the bigger picture and know that entry level is not the ultimate goal. Executive management is what you are working towards.

Pros

-Atmosphere - Everyone is so positive, there's lots of laughs, it's hard to walk in with a bad mood and leave without a smile on your face, there's even an office dog most days a week! -Co-workers - The entire management team is invested in your growth, they're always willing to answer as many questions as I fire at them, they even take time to sit down with me to help me. I've never worked with such genuinely caring people. The training is VERY hands on, and I've even spent time out at the events with the President. -Growth - In the few months I've been here I've seen so much growth not only personally, but professionally as well. Over the holiday's my family was so impressed with what I've learned and what I'm doing now. I love that everything is merit based, and unlike my last position I will never hit the glass ceiling here! -Compensation - performance based…harder you work, more $$$$

Cons

-Input = Output - I've grown past some of my co-workers that have been here longer, and I've already seen a few people quit. This is not a position for an undriven individual that expects handouts, the opportunity is not given to anyone…it's earned. -Negative family members - concerned with the amount of time I'm spending working, I've tried to explain the growth and opportunity but they're not very understanding -Weekends - working weekends isn't always ideal, but to master a craft in a short amount of time it's understandable…some don't feel the same way
