Pros

Was a great place to make money between 2017-2021, there was a great culture and a family feel to the business. The staff were looked after well and the business focus was on growth of not just the business, but it's people.

Cons

The new CEO had positioned himself and the development team to take over the business from a customer driven organisation, to a 'we will give you what we think you need' organisation. This works well with innovative thinking, but this is not the case with Redstor. Management and board worked systematically to remove anyone from the business that disagreed with the new approach, refusing to listen to many staff that had been with the business over 10 years and driven the growth of the company up until recently. The new mantra at the company is that sales staff are not required and people will buy the product without any personal interaction. This just isn't possible in a commoditised market, where understanding your customers needs and being able to flexibly work with an organisation to ensure a successful partnership. Instead you are forced to work through a portal, that isn't feasible in a market that isn't 'one size fits all' Commission plans are now detrimental to the ongoing growth of the business, having lost all the experience staff for young and cheap 'talent'. If you do not grow your own business every quarter, you will earn zero. In a business that is loosing customers faster than Usain Bolts 100m record, you will spend your whole time firefighting and not selling. In conclusion, this is a sinking ship.

Pros

Product is easy to use

Cons

Lack of a strategy has resulted in poor sales. Despite saying they have achieved a 30% growth rate they haven't hit the targets in over a year. Management team openly discuss getting rid of people that they don't like which has resulted in a large number of people leaving either voluntary or otherwise. They aren't backfilled which leaves more work for everyone else. There is no training or career progression, support for people doesn't exist, pay rises and bonuses are ad hoc. Culture has become toxic since the new CEO took over which is a real shame as prior to that it felt like a family. Avoid!

Not a time to join unless they get the company figured out first

Pros

HR trying to improve company culture. Working with global teams.

Cons

This company changed drastically in a few short months after a change in CEO. There used to be heart and soul in the company, largely related to the previous CEO who was a leader, not a boss. It felt as if you were a part of a big family but overnight you felt replaceable and dispensable. It’s very click’y and often times feels like you’ll go nowhere if you’re not a part of the “crew.” There are also interrelationships within the company/leadership that creates a toxic environment due to not being able to navigate normal situations as you should. Always feeling like you’re walking on eggshells and have to watch what you say/do because it will be repeated makes for a very restricting and unhealthy environment. Upper leadership is aware of the scandals/environment but no changes are made. Instead those people are put on pedestals and continue to climb up the ladder at the expense of others. I used to be proud working for a UK based company because I felt the quality of people were better than what you find in the US, but I’ve never worked for a company with more drama and politics than this one.
