Ravago

I really enjoyed working at Ravago and I was VERY sad to leave.  I advanced pretty quickly in the company and there was a lot of room to grow. However, it was stressful at times mainly because of the workload and that you had to figure a lot of new information out for yourself, without a lot of training - this was also a positive because it brought attention to your skills. I met some really wonderful people there, and also gained a lot of great experience. If still lived in Florida, I would still be there 3 years later.  In my opinion, how you view this company depends on your willingness to work hard and work with others, while overlooking some negatives and focusing on moving forward. Overall, I'd highly recommend this company if you are looking for a long term career.

A very stringent place. No room for errors. As a PIT operator in the warehouse, Every time you make a mistake or damage something, you have to file a report. Two of which were not even my fault as one was due to a poor and badly used pallet that caused a collapse as they tend to triple stack boxes in their warehouse. As I went to pick up a box the pallet broke and the top started to lean. It took over 3 hours for 4 people to try and save this box and it still was counted against me. And when I was honest about damaging a bag of product by accident, another report and finally dismissal. Look elsewhere, not worth it. They're holiday schedule is a joke. 8 paid holidays to which you have to wait 3 months for to be eligible, and all the other days like the day before or after are considered floating. And you have to sign up for those and they get eaten by all the other higher tenured lap dogs you're out of luck. Expect.to work all the of "Eve" holidays. 

I always wondered why this company was always hiring. 

Management- Non-existent in some departments while other managers will smile in your face while building a case against you.

Workload- Tremendous amount of workload no matter what department. There is no work/life balance while working at Ravago.  So many people get up and simply quit out of frustration. Unfortunately, they don't care because within days they hire someone else to replace you.

Salary- May look appealing, but divide that by the amount of hours you put in and you are better off working at a fast food restaurant. If they pay customer service $38k a year its not because they are generous people.

Employees- For the most part everyone that is not a manager is really nice but gossiping is a big issue here.

Until Ravago decides to focus on the main root of the problem which is management everyone will continue to resign from this awful place.

Benefits offered are great. The people working there are very diverse and for the most part, make coming to work enjoyable. The job itself is stressful, but would be easier to maintain if the needed tools were supplied and employees not be micromanaged. There is not enough cross training across the different departments which causes miscommunication and frustration. Any communication usually stays at the management level and does not trickle down. Favoritism also makes for a unhealthy work place.  Issues with management that are being brought up to HR are not being taken seriously, instead the HR department sides with management. Once on managements radar, unrealistic goals are set in place. A high turnover rate and numerous complaints should be an indicator of ongoing issues with management. The company has great potential.

If "leaders & Managers" don't like you they will make your life awful and make you second guess yourself and make you feel useless,  they make harsh comments and than dare to tell you "not to take it personal" HR doesn't exist for employees since management has a hire jerarchy good luck if anybody hears you. Totally stressful, gossip and trashy talk from all levels of company, managers encourage it and also bully. No problem solving from the bottom at once, they rather have employees double work all the time, if your daily job is not finished they don't listen instead they ask you to stop using excuses. If you work night and day there don't expect any applause or anyone worrying for you but if you arrive a minute late expect to hear from them as an always issue.This to name a few. Good Luck glad I am gone!

I had high hopes for this role but was met with disappointment . I thought I would learn the role as an operator but instead you will find yourself cleaning for hours and hours. Once you’re done cleaning you will clean some more. The structure was so bad that as a new guy you can easily disappear and maybe take an hour break and a 2 hour lunch. You can meet some decent people but can easily see their motive is just a paycheck and to get by.  The supervisor will help clean but can make you feel more dumb than anything. He takes credit for a lot but things tend to run smoother when he’s in the office. I’d recommend coming to Ravago if you’ve given up on life and are willing to have no purpose at all.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They had food all the time being bought for us or us bring food to each.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The cliques they have, I don't speak Spanish and everyone spoke Spanish, and would talk about me. They threw you to the wolves about mostly everything.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I would say it's something they "worked on" but they failed tremendously.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working, doing reports, being made to work the gate when most are Spanish speaking and can't understand English. Getting mad cause you didn't do something the way they liked.

Ravago in Plainfield/Montgomery suffers from disorganized management and blatant favoritism, which creates a toxic work environment. Management tends to focus solely on mistakes while overlooking the daily contributions of its employees, and leadership often takes credit for work they did not do. The HR department appears to operate in a corrupt manner, frequently working against employee interests rather than supporting them. Additionally, the general manager seems frequently out of touch and is quick to let employees go, even immediately after a two-week notice. Overall, if you are seeking long-term stability and a workplace that values your contributions, this is not the place for you.

This by far hands down is the worst employer I have ever worked for. All about bottom line, as long as the C-Level employees had fat pockets, the lower level individuals received nothing. Extremely stressful job, costing many employees their health. 

Systems were consistently down and departments did not do anything proactively to resolve issues. Everything was reactive at this company. Poor communication as a whole, the HR department was a complete and total joke. Lots of nepotism going on here. Increase in customers and job responsibilities without adequate staffing. Long days and working from home on off hours without pay. 

Glad I quit before I lost my life.

Been there 15 years as a Maintenance Tech. but i have not had a raise in the last 5 years. Used to have great picnics & lots of money spent on prizes, used to have great Christmas parties, used to cater in food from different vendors often & used to have great bonuses but all is gone now. Management is over bearing and thinks everybody wants to work there but people come through a temp agency & work a day or two even a month or two and quite. Im a current employ and have been there 15 years but all the older employees are leaving for other jobs & im currently looking myself. Do Yourself A Favor and Stay Away From This Place - It Sucks Now
