Pros

Casual dress. Catering and snacks. Experience to use to find other opportunities.

Cons

Here is the truth of what you need to know about Referral Exchange (REX)... The bad reviews are taken down, a manager told someone that they paid off the bad reviewers so that they can keep a higher rating... and there were a lot of bad reviews. Realistically their rating should be A LOT lower. I worked for REX for 4 years. I started in the Sacrament office and took on another role that moved me to the SF office. The pay was very low for the location and job responsibility. I was doing multiple peoples jobs, never really having any kind of support, and never was compensated for it. When it came to end of year bonus, they waited 4 days to let people know that there were no bonuses, that we would be compensated in pay, also they told me that I was getting the max possible pay raise, but that was a bold faced lie. Their biggest problem is that they are horrible at communicating. The managers at REX are all entry level or have very little actual management experience. People are promoted on who they know (or suck up to) or seniority and not the actual management experience or knowledge of how to do the job or run the department. Managers were micromanaging employees while watching gaming videos. Doing little or next to nothing but make sure to add their name to something to get credit. There is no HR at REX. Benefits are stupid expensive. REX knows this though, its something that EVERYONE brings up every year. They don't seem to listen to anyone and if its told to them they do nothing with the information.

I am sorry that you left feeling undervalued. It sounds like you expected more compensation for the work that you did than you received. I understand that is not great. On top of that others got promoted which seemed unfair. I do hope that you had conversations about your perspective with your manager at the time. A couple of things I need to rectify: Glassdoor does not allow companies to influence the reviews, so whomever you asked probably did not know that. You can check their policy. The other statement that management does not have experience is also untrue. My boss – one of the VP’s has at least 7 years of leadership experience, I myself have also 7 years of leadership experience and my team of 4 managers have 6 – 4 – 3- 1 years of leadership experience. I’m not saying experience is super important. Ultimately it’s about how well we do for the teams we lead and we can learn and get better daily. We also have a 12-week leadership program that had 30 current and future leaders go through it and the 4th class will start in May. This will help us in our quest to get better every day. I truly hope you found a new good home. All the best, Sharon Powers – Director of Servicing and Operations.

Pros

I've worked many jobs throughout my life and I have never until recently had the opportunity to work for a company that truly cares. Referral exchange is managed by a wonderful and motivating team that builds you up and never puts you down. They go out of their way to show all of their employees how valuable they are. They found a way to create a family. I'm lucky that I had the opportunity to be a part of a company that changes people's lives for the better.

Cons

The only con I can think of is how hard it is to leave. They do so much for you and everyone is positive and optimistic. It made leaving really difficult for me. It's hard to find these qualities in a professional environment.
