RESCAR COMPANIES

My experience with Rescar was delightful.  My manager was quite understanding to life occurrences.  Much of our work was done remote easily.  
I was required to travel at least 50 to 60% of the time to the various locations of responsibility.  I established a good and trusting relationship with all of the employees in my supportive areas.  I was able to build a positive Safety Culture among the hourly personnel with constant communication with all of the employees on a regular basis.  At times the employees would contact me with questions regarding safety throughout the week and weekends.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Rescar and have no regrets other than their need to eliminate a large number of positions including mine.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only good thing about rescar is getting weekly pay, period

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This place is so unorganized on a daily basis, it literally makes no sense. All the bs comes from the many managers that never do any wrong, let them tell it. There are no advancement opportunities, too many negatives to list just please stay away from this place.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture is horrible, environment is kinda ok

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Chaotic is typically how a day is

Rescar Companies gave me an opportunity to learn a career and life lessons. I enjoyed working with rescar for the past 11 plus years , due to their safety and training programs within their company . When at Rescar Companies we were trained to work together as a team and safety was our number one priority.  I have never been one to be late or miss work. My work ethic at Rescar  Companies was impeccable ! I recently moved to Michigan from Texas to be near my family and wanted to transfer but Rescar had no openings , so I gave a 3 week notice and moved to Michigan.

I question company's cash flow.  Not able to pay vendors on time.  Always late which hinders operations.  No employer/employee loyalty.  Lowest paying employer within it's industry.  Just made a market adjustment on some operational workers because they were all leaving the company for competitors.  Benefits are awful.  No work life balance.  Paid time off includes sick days and it's only two weeks.  Everything is done on paper.  Nothing is online for efficiency.  Do not issue laptops so employers are required to work on site at all times.  Can't work from home anyway because everything is paper based.

Great job if interested in the Railroad Industry.
I learned how to identify railcar numbers and ownership of the railcar along with the commodity it may carry.
This is a male driven industry, the vast majority of my co-workers are men. Great group of guys!
The hardest part of the job is learning the various job codes and regulations of the Railroad.
The most enjoyable part of the job is having the weekends off.

I resigned from the company, after climbing to management. Best decision I ever made. I had to fight for my raises that were verbally promised to me, lacked support as a manager, and overall did not like the culture of the company. The founder's children hold the are head positions, and most of them are terrible at what they do. Often times it is more about who you know or who you are than the skills you bring to the table.

Upper management lack leadership skills and demonstrate a lack of integrity daily.  It is very well known throughout the company that you do not crosss any of them or they will retaliate swiftly.  There is no work/life balance, employees did not even receive as much a Christmas card for the christmas holiday... Bottom line is that this is a horrible place to work !!!! Run far away !

A experience atmosphere with a fast pace competitive approach estabished structure a sight goaled curriculum safe and efficient members who were driven to meet all objectives

My Dept review was great and positive. The benefits package was not great at all though... that's including 401, healthcare. The work culture was wonderful. By far, the best company I have ever worked for. Was very happy being apart of the Rescar family.

Nice place to work, with nice work office environment.  Variety of different backgrounds of people to work with, in a casual business atmosphere. 
 
Business casual attire is welcome, providing a relaxed atmosphere to work.
