The RepTrak Company Employee Reviews about "senior management"

Pros

All the Consultants and Research Analysts at RI are great (basically anyone under the age of 30 is wonderful to work with - there is often unity in misery...)

Cons

Staying objective, the work is incredibly repetitive and mind numbing... everyone basically makes the same 15-20 slides over and over again all day every day... there is very little room for personal interpretation, especially with Senior Management urging you to follow their own vision (which is ultimately always in line with a sales pitch and not necessarily always the data)... I was very disappointed with my time at RI, they preach a mantra of being international and a fast growing company but its just not true. The employees who are actually producing reports are miserable with low salaries and little appreciation/ recognition. Do yourselves a favor and just stay away. I promise, within 2-3 months of working at RI you'll realize its all just smoke and mirrors when it comes to work quality, career development and the RI product. Its not a coincidence a handful of people resigned and moved on within the last 6-months.

Pros

the reptrak model, the clients we work for and the stated mission of the company, unfortunately all pros end there

Cons

Senior management is packed with people who don't live by the company's values. We are supposed to sell the idea that companies who behave ethically win when our own managers are breaking the rules. The environment is very political and gossipy and there is a tendency for people to create cliques and spend more energy on internal office politics than on pushing the business forward. Your work and your skills don't matter that much at reptrak Recently there has been a wave of sackings that is not communicated internally in any way. This wouldn't be a major issue, but in the past all departures where communicated each month and the leadership has bragged about how transparent they are. That doesn't seem to be the case any more

Pros

There are some great benefits to working at reputation institute: fun culture, a lot of PTO, high-growth environment and stimulating work. There is great support and collaboration across different teams. Always something new to explore.

Cons

There is so much disorganization. Lack of transparency. Huge disconnect between senior management and the masses. No one has any clue about their future here. Titles are totally random and inequitable. Employees have to fight tooth and nail to be fairly compensated. A company that values its employees will recognize they deserve a raise/promotion before they need to ask.

Pros

Interesting industry. Top companies as clients.

Cons

Too many dishonest people in senior management. All looks good at start however it quickly becomes obvious that the company is a mess. There is a lack of direction and management sends conflicting messages in regards to the future of the company. One day we are becoming a "data-driven" tech company, the other day we remain a consulting company. Working with the tech team has always been a nightmare, they can't deliver work on time and they can't build all the features that were agreed upon. Since the new CTO came on board things are getting worse as he's pushing back against requests from the other departments which only result in more work for the non-tech employees and that is clearly unfair. People are working long hours and are paid low salaries for their roles.

Pros

The young staffers who are my peers are great, fun, helpful and very much part of an us against the management types team.

Cons

Poor pay, not great benefits and no concern for employees. They switched health insurance providers and gave everyone about a day's notice and were baffled why people were upset. The senior management spends lots of money on leadership retreats for themselves but won't so much as pay for a group lunch. Unless you are really desperate for a job don't consider working here, you'll regret it, I certainly have.

Pros

Fair management Nice people Opportunities of promotion

Cons

Lack of feedback from senior management

Pros

Global clients; some talented junior staff

Cons

Worst possible imaginable senior management; toxic office environment; humiliation of employees; boring repetitive work; greed ahead of product quality

Pros

good colleagues, good location,

Cons

poor senior management, need to be improved
