large, corporate, stale environment who is committed to the good ole boys network
|
This is a company that is committed to the good old boy network. They rarely promote people of color and women to positions of prominence within the organization. Its a stale environment who claims to want to make changes within the organization but they never make intentional change that has lasting impact.

No room for growth
|
No opportunities for advancement. Supervisors DO NOT WANT TO HELP YOU SUCCEED. Want to keep you in the same position. Always giving poor excuses for no growth. Management does whatever they want and don't care about you.

Lacking in care for their workstaff
|
I worked for this company for 5+ years and in that time came to the realization that they were highly focused on profits and acquisitions however not so focused on maintaining good staff members. Employees who did less on the job were promoted to positions beyond their abilities. Employees who did their jobs well were just given more work. Being in a salaried position, this company took/takes full advantage of that situation. Rumored in the industry as a firm who is unwilling to pay the proper wages for the jobs being done, getting new staffers in the door was an everlasting problem. For every one person hired, two would quit, typically taking positions at other local establishments for more income. In an industry where there are so few new faces joining the field, this way of doing business will surely catch up to them, it is just a matter of time. The one redeeming factor is that many of the employees with good work ethic are genuinely nice and caring people - unfortunately, none of these people are in management.

Horrible place to work
|
No one oversees department managers, they didn't do their jobs so you were forced to handle the overflow. Management takes credit for your work so it looks like you are not performing, when in reality, they aren't performing

RSC is a great place to work. Great team atmosphere. Very upbeat company that is continuously growing. Still a fairly young organization which can lead to a few hiccups internally but brings a lot of opportunity.

Could've been a great opportunity
|
Prior to RSC, I successfully managed a variety of projects at top tier companies and received recommendations from my direct managers, VPs and other executives. I am also PMP certified.
It became clear soon after starting at RSC that I had entered into an unworkable situation. I was never given the chance to succeed or fail at any task. The project churn was such that projects were frequently re-assigned by my manager before I had a chance to gain any traction on them. There were bizarre controlling behaviors exhibited by my manager including contradictory comments and direction, questioning (and criticizing) thought processes and micromanagement among other things. There seems to be an unyielding and rigid over-adherence to PMP processes, some of which are overkill for the typical project this team managed. These were all the failings of the recently promoted director (formerly the Sr. Ops PM) to whom I reported. I have since learned that I am the third PM within two years who could not work directly with this individual.
Knowing I was in a dysfunctional situation, I put in my two-week notice after only three months. At the request of HR, I provided my professional assessment of the situation. Rather than pay me for the full two-weeks, they let me go after one day. I’ve never encountered a situation like this before and hopefully won’t again.
RSC seems like a good company. The issues I encountered seem isolated to having to work with a problematic individual to whom I reported. If this person were not there, I could see myself having a happy and successful career at RSC. It's also possible that the company's refusal to fix this issue could be symptomatic of a larger problem.
Advice to Management:
- Get project management advice from more than just the one problematic source.
- Trust that long-time junior employees know the process well enough to test their hand in leading projects (with the benefit of having a well-rounded PM to help guide and mentor them along the way).
- Directly address the need for change in roles and responsibilities of problematic employee to halt a revolving door of PMs.

The most enjoyable part of my best was going above and beyond to satisfy our insured's claim needs. Reviewing the surveyor's report and learning new work procedures.

Not much room for advancement
|
The day to day is really relaxed but not much room to advance to the next level. The way the department is setup is not well organized and employees are not sure sometimes about their job responsibilities. Risk Strategies has been focusing on mergers and acquisitions rather than organic growth.

Stay FAR away from the Los Angeles (Glendale) office.
|
If you enjoy being micromanaged to the point where you can't even attempt to do your work because you must have 3 hour daily meetings that make no sense and are in NO way productive or necessary you will love this place. Management is disorganized and you will constantly be given conflicting information or instructions from different sources and feel the wrath when you choose the "incorrect" instructions to follow. There is a very intense "Mean Girls" style office culture of constant gossip, belittling, undermining, rumors, and drama. On several occasions, I was loudly and condescendingly chastised with colleagues nearby for ridiculous things. I was told on my first day by several individuals that the last four people in my position had either quit or been fired within 3 months. The last hire actually came in for her first day...and never came back, with no contact thereafter.This is hands down the WORST job I have ever had misfortune of working at. This is a very toxic and unhealthy place to work.
