Pros
There are few but if you are looking for a fun and friendly group of young people to work with, a job here could be good for you. Flexible working hours are great (beware; they can also blur the line of how many hours you actually end of working).
Cons
Albert Einstein was once heard saying that “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new”. Despite being a beautiful sentiment, there must come a time where daring and turns into foolhardiness. The Management Team need only heed the advice of Bert Lance, an experienced mistake maker, who parried Einstein with “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. There needs to be a clear focus and development on the things that DO work before embarking on potentially disruptive ventures to both employees and clients. Err on the side of caution, and engage with your employees on an honest level to establish a robust culture. RG boasts an extensive culture unlike any other- well I hate to break it to you- but there are hundreds of companies who offer stability, job security, better pay, vibrancy and unique values. If you talk the talk, then perhaps it’s best to ‘walk the walk’ and not just present the idealistic values. I stopped counting the amount of times I was told to leave figures off a report to make it look stronger to a client. Reward Gateway employs the best smoke and mirrors to existing and prospective clients to make sure that the external perception of the company is strong. Seminars, Photo-shoots and other such expenses often mask the over-worked employees who are given little progression to look forward to.
