Pros

Able to do very little on a daily basis and get praised for it

Cons

Management doesn't really pay attention to what you do, and in many cases, doesn't even really care. If I had a concern about something and brought it up to my team lead, he'd usually shrug it off or he'd act like he cared and then let me know he forgot about it when I asked for an update. They also canned their DEI lead while I was there, when I thought DEI was the best part of the organization. If they didn't fire them, I would've had that as a Pro.

Pros

Awesome management, excellent work life balance and high expectations. Absolutely LOVED my role here, my team and my boss. They expect a lot and will treat you right if you are a hard worker and honest employee.

Cons

I resigned after a change in CSuite leadership (CEO, President of our Department etc), and other layoffs I felt changes were coming and wanted to get ahead of those. I resigned however loved working for Red River and would work for them again if the opportunity presented itself. True professionals.
