RECO Equipment, Inc.

Owner and upper management are lost. Absolutely zero accountability. To much office politics. They are losing sight of customer and employee relations chasing dollar signs. Service Techs have to be there own managers because the ones they hire have no clue or experience in the heavy equipment industry. Pay bottom dollar you get bottom dollar employees. Benefits are expensive and not great. PTO plan is a joke.  This buisness is running 10 years behind everyone, but they think there doing things right.

Ownership truly has well being of employees in mind. Tremendous amount of respect for their work ethic, solid business decisions, transparency they provide to employees, and for evolving the business based on market which provides stability for RECO/Bobcat employees. Promote accountability & productivity in both personal and professional life (i.e. Safety, Health & Wellness, internal job promotion, Training & Development).  Work hard is recognized and rewarded.  Strong support offered by management.  Genuine care & compassion for coworkers.

RECO has some solid strengths and a few areas for improvement. The work culture is positive, and there’s a good sense of camaraderie among employees. The work-life balance is great. There are some challenges in terms of management and advancement opportunities as your path at the company is never clear. Compensation and benefits are decent but may not meet everyone’s expectations. Overall, it’s a great place to work, there’s room for growth and development if you can hunt for it.

Management is horrible. They only believe in micro managment. They preach values but don't live them. Techs worked to death. Often away from home all week every week. Pay is not competitive compaired to the number of hours you have to work. Very high turnover because employees learn after starting they were lied to about how great it is to work there.

They understand the concept of you get back what you put in. They have a strong desire to grow people and to see them succeed. Your success is their success. RECO is a place to have a career and setup roots.

Lack of Formal Training ...
Lack of Upper Mgmt Support ...
High Turnover and always Short Staffed ...
Company Values that are preached are not followed by Upper Mgmt ... 


Due to always being short staffed, you are expected to do the jobs of multiple people with little to no formal training on how to do those jobs. So your typical day usually consists of feeling like you are spinning your wheels, and just trying to make it through the day.

Reco wants to do good but the Owners are out of touch with competitive pay and culture. They have really high turnover in the company. 2/3 a year leave. At no point do they look in the mirror. Their company culture is one way only. Loyalty is demanded, awkward interview with upper management. The company as whole lacks communication with each other. Equipment will just show up at a branch and other weird things. 

The days that I work fly by because I am busy.  I feel like I can reach out to my supervisor at any time with any issues that I have.  I am not micromanaged at all.  The staff are all very supportive and helpful with trying to find ways to maximize efficiency and answering any questions that I may have.
