Pros

Medical and Dental Benefits are decent, somewhat flexible schedule.

Cons

This place is horrible, don't take a job here unless you are absolutely in dire straights. Boring, tedious work that will strip your mind of any intelligence you walk through the door with. The place is a machine and you are treated like a ROBOT working like a maniac and always covering for 2 or 3 other people who have called in sick because they HATE their job.

Pros

After you leave RCO, you may possibly have a negative experience elsewhere, but it will pale in comparison to your sufferings at RCO.

Cons

Cheap, cheap, cheap. Disregarding the underpayment of their employees, think of sharing one very old microwave with 100 other people on the floor. Yes, just one.Their perspective: If you are an attorney, you are valued, until you decide to quit that is. If you are a paralegal, you are almost worth talking to, if you are a legal assistant, forget it. They won't even notice you.

Pros

Cheap medical option. Some freebies here and there like bagels on Fridays. Coworkers are pretty friendly and sociable. Relatively decent pay for a low skill job.

Cons

Where do I start...possibly the most condescending thing they have done was to send us a personalized compensation report that calculates our "true compensation" that factors in benefits they offer to us on top of a salary. That's actually useful EXCEPT that they included unemployment, social security, and potential benefits that I have not exercised (e.g. 401k matching). If it was a way to boost morale, they were sorely mistaken. They are very passive aggressive when it comes to policy. Instead of giving direct and useful feedback when mistakes are made, they hint (at least I think they did that in retrospect) then throw down the hammer after they compile evidence against you. It's a degrading way to treat someone. They definitely foster an adversarial relationship between management and workers. Their performance evaluation system makes it difficult to really stand out since doing your job excellently is still a 3 out of 5. I personally offered my help and expertise many, many times but they make it difficult to take advantage of opportunities to grow and advance. Also, just knowing what kind of awful industry they are capitalizing off of makes it that much more difficult to swallow their justifications for "business improvements" that are essentially anti-worker. This is a place where you should definitely be worried whenever HR contacts you directly. They literally have an eye on you with cameras all throughout the office including stairwells. Employees are given no trust and it's depressing.
