Pros

There are a few good folks in Bakersfield who really try to help the branches, but they are far outnumbered by arrogant, overpaid corporate hacks who treat branches like annoyances. Apparently it never occurred to these stiffs that their paychecks are paid by the sweat of the sales and operations people who toil 24/7 pumping sewage.

Cons

Garbage equipment, outdated IT systems, a horrible quote/CRM program, mountains of reports and paperwork, inadequate training at all levels, useless HR staff and policies, and the morally bankrupt Bakersfield clan mentioned above. It's no wonder branch management turnover is 30-50% per year. The managers who hang on typically worked their way up from installer or truck driver and don't know any better. Those who come from outside RFR quickly realize how much of a train wreck it is and quit or are forced out for not drinking the koolaid. My advice to anyone considering a managerial job in any RFR branch is KEEP LOOKING. YOU CAN DO BETTER.

Pros

This company has potential to grow into something great. They are an old “mom and pop” company that has outgrown the old ways and is struggling to enter a new age. When they figure it all out this could be a great company. Their wages are great. Many of the people are fantastic. Overall the company is run by honest people.

Cons

In a management role you are entirely on your own! There is no guidance or training or even clear expectations. Turnover, both voluntary and involuntary, is shockingly high in every job category. The job you will be doing is nothing like what you think it will be. They are not truly a rental company but more of a specialized contractor that performs labor and service. Do not believe what the recruiter tells you, spend time with the company and understand the job for yourself before you join! There is no cohesive company vision or standardization. Communication is incredibly slow, people at the corporate office will simply not respond if your issue is one that they don’t want to address. There is zero work/life balance.
