Redbox Reviews

I have been working at Redbox full-time for more than a year

Pros – Employee-centric policies, work/life balance, freedom for creative thinking, no walls between top management and "grunts" Free fruit, soda, rentals, cereal, etc.

Cons – Repetitive, disconnect between divisions, rapidly changing policy or procedural implementation, 24/7 support.

Advice to Senior Management – Pay Machine Support more, they are more directly responsible for profits than are other departments.

I have been working at Redbox full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Flexible schedule, great mileage pay, great benefits (insurance, time off, etc),

Cons – Communication, growth (all non-field employees are on Chicago)
 no real interaction with management, everything revolves around "metrics" instead of rational, logical thoughts/data

Advice to Senior Management – Communicate. Stop relying on "metrics" to make decisions. GET INTO THE FIELD and you will get more answers than you could imagine

I have been working at Redbox full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Not stuck in an office

Cons – Merchandising kiosks in sometimes blistering cold conditions.
 I have worked as a Field Service Rep. for nearly 3 yrs. now & rarely do I see pay bonuses & never an hourly pay raise.
Now the company deducts mileage reimbursement to the 1st & last kiosk we service each day. This can easily be 25 miles. We have to use our own vehicles & pay for our own gas up-front but are paid 50+ cents a mile. The wear & tear on your vehicle from the stop & go\heavy traffic is extensive with all auto repairs costs on you.. Any accident costs while on the job are also totally on you. God forbid you get injured in an accident while working.

I have been working at Redbox

Pros – Aggressive growth company
Fast track development of employees
Concern with employees safety
Great Benefits

Responsive forward thinking management
Great name in the industry
Very customer oriented

Cons – The possible worst thing of working with Redbox is the realization that this company is not ready for the eventual movement to streaming.

Advice to Senior Management – How can we expect a great name like redbox to lead the future when there is no response to streaming? How long is redbox going to keep quiet about the future of redbox.

I worked at Redbox

Pros – Overall, Redbox will always be near and dear to my heart. They paid very well and were very informative on what needed to be done or changes that were being made. I would still be with the company today, but unfortunately they moved their center to another location. They were very professional about the move, and treated us fairly. They are a great company to work for and I wish them the best of success.

Cons – Hardly any cons, except, at first there were a couple employees that acted as if they were entitled to act and do as they please, however once a particular stance was taken to ensure that people were where they needed to be, it was much better and I appreciate the short time of micromanagement for the betterment of service we provided to our customers.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the great work, I really liked the job and felt we were compensated accordingly.
