Pros

Great starting pay. Nothing else to put in this column, I mean, they made you pay for your coffee. Can there really be a lot of good things to say about a company like that?

Cons

Expensive medical, dental and vision. Poor PTO package. Constant management turnover. They fired me one month before I was going to be due a $27,000+ commission. Don't believe me? Their commission structure was (maybe still is) such that you aren't paid ANY commission until you hit 50% of your yearly quota. Myself and 15 of 20 outside reps were all not hitting our honestly ridiculously high monthly quotas, but come July I was set to hit that 50% of my yearly quota by month's end. At that point, they paid 4% of gross invoiced sales. It was just under $700k, therefore my commission at 4% would have been $27k and change. Because I did a great job at realistically forecasting my sales, they knew exactly that I was going to exceed at the end of July and put me on a PIP in June because, technically, I was not hitting my monthly quota. Though I was number 7 of 20, I was only one put on a PIP....can you figure out why? Yeah, because they didn't want to pay me the huge commission I was due. Here's the other thing: Sales didn't count toward your quote until the material was invoiced and when the installation was invoiced. So even though I had an order SIGNED BY THE CEO OF THE CUSTOMER, they said I did not hit my July quota and said I didn't meet my PIP and they fired me. I didn't get any of the $27k I was due, PLUS MY WIFE WAS EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT and they knew that, too. If they went to those lengths to fire me when they knew my wife was eight months pregnant, what will they do to you? Do you really want to risk it? Please consider this before accepting employment with this company.

Pros

Not everything is bad as some others say; Many employees care about the company and would do fairly well if they had a chance, but most have given up or are so frightened of the semi-annual firings that they turtle. The company has a decent reputation and the products are interesting. They actually do have some good executives there trying to fight the good fight. Within the sales organization, I had the pleasure to work some very fine people.

Cons

This is not difficult to figure out, but if you are considering working here you need to be very cautious and do you research on the owner. He is a poor businessman a sews fear and discontent even in his most loyal employees. Some of the things that happened there sickened me, they were reminiscent of a cat toying with a mouse until.... well you know. If you look at the history, RF has hired very good people (for the most part) and let them try to make things better for about 6 months to a year before they begin to be undermined. Often, (I observed) an executive make a decision that was agreed with publicly at the highest level and then privately the highest level would tell other employees to do it differently. The the fun begins! No one of good character can thrive in this environment, some cope and survive, but as you can imagine it reallly is not worth it to try until there are changes at the highest level. The facilities are old, poorly built, poorly maintained, and somewhat disgusting. This is not the fault of the employees for the most part, more due to no real $$ for upkeep. Market position is declining due to aging core products.
