You can't eat "culture" - Anonymous employee Red Ventures Employee Review

This company clearly feels that it can underpay its employees, because of its emphasis on a culture that supposedly balances hard work and fun. At one time, this was true, but no longer. Red Ventures now seems to be in a race to the middle. It no longer rewards high performers and recently demoted or fired more than 3 dozen long term, high salaried managers, while at the same time cutting the commissions to its highest performing sales people -- their Master Sales Agents. So, if you are an average salesperson who seeks average pay, RV is a great choice. If your ambition is to move into a management role, know that you will be overworked, under paid, and most likely chewed up and spit out. There is no reward for loyalty. Even their CEO has said (on many, many occasions), "We are a team, not a family." The underlying message is crystal clear and has been demonstrated for years: Don't you dare stumble or you will be cut. Don't be fooled by the smiles. This place is as mercenary as it gets. Less that a quarter of their new sales agents make to their first anniversary.
