RED Digital Cinema Reviews

Upper management seems out of touch with day to day operations and skills of employees. There is also a lack of shared vision and goals. Management also does not know how to lead employees. Frankly, there seems to be this inclination to blame the core of the employees for the company's woes, but none of that blame or responsibility ever seems to face management. Multiple times I witnessed sexism and racism, and homophobia. This was seen at every level of the organization. When HR did respond, it was tepid at best. Management is not friendly or encouraging to female leadership/talent. This is especially true when it comes to pay. The company's philosophy is to actually under pay its employees across the board, and this applies more so to female workers. Too many of the relationships that employees have with managers is toxic. Have heard multiple employees describe working here as being in an "abusive relationship". Witnessed multiple events where employees sabotaged success of events/sales/customer relationships by exhibiting petty, abusive behavior. Passive aggressive, micro management is the name of the game. And some of those that exhibit that behavior some how get championed and move onto better opportunities. Hiring practices hurt the company. The company keeps bringing in people who are not a part of the camera industry. The company provides minimal training and support. Older employees waste time and energy fixing the mistakes of newer employees who do not know how to engage with customers/use product.

Where to start? First and foremost, the management here is HORRIBLE. People become managers by kissing butt and taking credit for other employees work. Every few months or so there’s a random mass lay-off. So much so, that employees give it the term “RED Wedding” and “Fire Friday’s.” It’s not so fun knowing that there’s an axe above your head just waiting to drop. One exec literally said, “these idiots are all expendable. I could fire them all and find anyone else off the streets to do their job.” Seems like a nice work environment, huh? Every other department tells me they are miserable. Sales laid off a bunch of us, so they can focus only on resellers. Same for other departments. Support tells me their manager spends all day talking about Marvel movies, whisky and Apple, doesn’t care at all for their employees. Seems par for the course as the warehouse tells me the same things where they’ve also witnessed racism and sexism. I’ve talked to people that went to HR only to find out they don’t care at all either. I’ve also heard HR employees will create fake accounts to make fake reviews to try and keep the score up on here... sad. Instead of a profitable company, you have a company that makes cut after cut, losing great employees who are either fired or quit from the misery. This place used to be fun, eventful and exciting to work for. It has been poisoned by bad management that treat employees like trash and execs that make horrible business decisions causing the company to continue on a downward spiral. With the failure of the awful Hydrogen One I wonder what’s next.
