Pros

- Flexible work environment - Work/life balance is decent

Cons

- Little to no feedback, even when asked - “Fun” and “close” culture is a joke. The employees, at every single level, are extremely exclusive - making it almost impossible to build a real relationship with anyone - There were lay offs and furloughs due to COVID-19 and not one person from Riveron reached out to check in. This speaks volumes of the type of people that work here - 401k match is not competitive whatsoever - Falsely sold on the culture and type of work I would be doing by the recruiting team. All of it was a lie to get me in the door - You will rarely do meaningful work

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback. We are glad you found the work environment flexible. While Riveron was prepared for changing markets, nothing could prepare us for the sudden impact of COVID-19. Throughout this challenging time, our MD’s and business development team strived to bring in dynamic and challenging work for our consultants. Culture remains top of mind for our leadership team. If you have specific feedback in regards to culture, especially as we navigate working remotely, we welcome a conversation.

Pros

-I genuinely like my coworkers as people. A fun, smart, hardworking bunch.

Cons

- MDs Oversell. Unrealistic timelines. MDs are not really SMEs in their fields. -No one knows how to get promoted here unless you're in the Dallas office, you can go years without even being recognized. -Popularity contest 24/7. -Sellout type of leadership. -Laid off and furloughed strong consultants and basically kept their entire back-office staff (display of nepotism). Now they are hiring frantically. Completely backward. -Nepotism. -Glory days over are over after HIG capital came in. -Everyone I speak to across all levels seems to be plotting their exit strategy..

Pros

Colleagues - A players. Enjoyed working with colleagues on projects that focused on clients needs.

Cons

Leadership non-existent. If you are not 'part of the club' you are out, as evidence by recent layoffs and furloughs. Leadership? Riveron closed their 'best' March in the history of the company. FAS came in over $3m over goal. Wait for it...May 2020, lay offs and cuts. WHY? Oh..it's because leadership places their distribution pay out higher than their employees lives during a Black Swan Event. While other companies leaders take pay cut, Riveron's leaders once again - put themselves above the people that contributed to their success. Clouds are coming, Riveron. Poor choices personally bleed into professional life.

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback. The events of the past few weeks are unfortunate, and this is a tough time for many companies. Prior to reducing headcount, Riveron took numerous other actions such as reducing non-essential spending, pausing on real estate improvements and expansions, and reducing executive compensation. While Riveron was prepared for changing markets, nothing could prepare us for the sudden impact of COVID-19. We appreciate your service to Riveron, and we wish you future success.
