Pros
The environment is laid-back. Great work/life balance – absolutely nothing is expected of you when you’re outside of the office. Mostly everyone in the office hates working for Rees Scientific, so you build bonds and friendships with your coworkers. Pay is always on time. Opportunity to work with big-name pharma/hospital/blood bank customers.
Kontras
Headquarters is extremely disorganized. No one knows who does what, and the wrong responsibilities fall on the wrong people. The policies are outdated, and they seem to change on a daily basis. Tasks and shipping schedules are poorly prioritized and managed, leaving the field staff without the proper equipment to do their job. The owner is much disengaged, and upper management would prefer it stay that way. Upper management plays favorites, resulting in unqualified people getting placed in supervisory positions. There’s hardly any direction, and answers are as clear as mud. The Sales Reps are treated like kings, making everyone else to feel less important. There are hardly any good-quality employees; just when you think you met the most incompetent of them all, another one strolls in and snatches first place. They do not take the time to search for decent candidates, nor do they want to invest in anyone, aside from upper management and the chosen ones, of course. Because no one feels appreciated, valued, or respected, the doors just keep spinning. Overworked and underpaid is an understatement when referring to Rees Scientific. If you do decide to accept an offer, use your time here as a stepping stone. This is not somewhere you want to work for the rest of your days.
