Risk Strategies

Prior to RSC, I successfully managed a variety of projects at top tier companies and received recommendations from my direct managers, VPs and other executives. I am also PMP certified.

It became clear soon after starting at RSC that I had entered into an unworkable situation. I was never given the chance to succeed or fail at any task. The project churn was such that projects were frequently re-assigned by my manager before I had a chance to gain any traction on them. There were bizarre controlling behaviors exhibited by my manager including contradictory comments and direction, questioning (and criticizing) thought processes and micromanagement among other things. There seems to be an unyielding and rigid over-adherence to PMP processes, some of which are overkill for the typical project this team managed. These were all the failings of the recently promoted director (formerly the Sr. Ops PM) to whom I reported. I have since learned that I am the third PM within two years who could not work directly with this individual. 

Knowing I was in a dysfunctional situation, I put in my two-week notice after only three months. At the request of HR, I provided my professional assessment of the situation. Rather than pay me for the full two-weeks, they let me go after one day. I’ve never encountered a situation like this before and hopefully won’t again. 

RSC seems like a good company. The issues I encountered seem isolated to having to work with a problematic individual to whom I reported. If this person were not there, I could see myself having a happy and successful career at RSC. It's also possible that the company's refusal to fix this issue could be symptomatic of a larger problem.

Advice to Management:
- Get project management advice from more than just the one problematic source.
- Trust that long-time junior employees know the process well enough to test their hand in leading projects (with the benefit of having a well-rounded PM to help guide and mentor them along the way).
- Directly address the need for change in roles and responsibilities of problematic employee to halt a revolving door of PMs.

The accounting department is a cluster to say the least. A lot of management are just “seniority placements” that try to use yesterdays thinking for todays problems. They are resistant to change and also implement rules so they can avoid doing their jobs. They decided telling associates they have to have all their PTO logged in by June 1st. That’s right, forget the 2 weeks listed in the OFFICIAL RULES AND PROCEDURES for the company, they need up to 7months notice.l because they don’t want to deal with figuring out staffing(a part of their job). 
Management is also clueless and will try to tell you things are wrong. When they are shown they are  in fact wrong about it, they will never own up to it and just try to nitpick more things because they are embarrassed. 
Pay is ok for the work. Raises are low. They cap 401k matching at 3500.
You will barely be trained and then asked why you don’t know how to do things.
Overall, I wouldn’t join unless you are desperate.





This company seems primarily focused on acquisitions and NOT invested in it's employees. Compensation is far below average. Regarding the department I worked in, meetings could run up to 2 hours, with no warning in advance it would run that long, processes made are very grey, then not adhered to nor enforced. It is  all talk about goals and progress and when positive results are shared ny upper management at meetings, this does not translate to raises or increased profit-sharing bonus results. There is no commisison or referral fee paid on a successful cross-sell, with teh message that doing so simply helps the bottom line for all, yet any raise is minimal at best. There is no holiday bonus or gift, a MINIMAL profit-sharing despite longevity if you are not senior management and longtime employees are leaving on a regular basis.  A typical day at work is stress, the righ hand not knowing what the left hand is doing & duplicaitn of efforts. 

I worked for this company for 5+ years and in that time came to the realization that they were highly focused on profits and acquisitions however not so focused on maintaining good staff members.  Employees who did less on the job were promoted to positions beyond their abilities.  Employees who did their jobs well were just given more work.  Being in a salaried position, this company took/takes full advantage of that situation. Rumored in the industry as a firm who is unwilling to pay the proper wages for the jobs being done, getting new staffers in the door was an everlasting problem.  For every one person hired, two would quit, typically taking positions at other local establishments for more income. In an industry where there are so few new faces joining the field, this way of doing business will surely catch up to them, it is just a matter of time.  The one redeeming factor is that many of the employees with good work ethic are genuinely nice and caring people - unfortunately, none of these people are in management.

If you enjoy being micromanaged to the point where you can't even attempt to do your work because you must have 3 hour daily meetings that make no sense and are in NO way productive or necessary you will love this place. Management is disorganized and you will constantly be given conflicting information or instructions from different sources and feel the wrath when you choose the "incorrect" instructions to follow. There is a very intense "Mean Girls" style office culture of constant gossip, belittling, undermining, rumors, and drama. On several occasions, I was loudly and condescendingly chastised with colleagues nearby for ridiculous things. I was told on my first day by several individuals that the last four people in my position had either quit or been fired within 3 months. The last hire actually came in for her first day...and never came back, with no contact thereafter.This is hands down the WORST job I have ever had misfortune of working at. This is a very toxic and unhealthy place to work.

This company is truly an outstanding place to work. They combine cutting-edge technology and human talent to create innovative solutions that make a real difference in the world of artificial intelligence and enterprise operations. The company fosters a culture of collaboration, continuous learning, and respect, where every employee’s contribution is valued. Their commitment to excellence and ethical AI practices inspires confidence and pride in the work we do. With a dynamic and supportive environment, professional growth opportunities abound and teamwork is encouraged at every level. The leadership is transparent and approachable, always focusing on building a positive workplace culture. The company’s impact on the AI industry is significant, having trained over 80% of the world’s top AI models. This strong vision and proven track record make it an exciting and rewarding organization to be part of. I’m proud to be on the team and look forward to our future achievements.

-Remote work
-Decent benefits
-Vacation and sick days broken out, company doesn’t hassle anyone for using sick days as vacation days-but usually too busy to take

-Poor work/life balance
-Parent company is all about keeping business in-house using its subsidiaries-constant pressure to do so.  Parent company often rude and unprofessional to subsidiaries  and company does nothing to address this.  Drop everything and hurry up every time parent company wants something.
-Parent company seems to focus more on buying new companies than existing companies and employees 
-Parent company talked about all these great things coming to employees-nothing yet.
 




This company is buying smaller agencies, and trying to get them to come under their umbrella of flow in culture with performance monitoring, day to day applications used, and overall culture. I am assigned  to a newly acquired agency. Lots of push back from the tenured folks who don’t welcome the change. Office politics are heavy here. Not a lot of diversity in company structure.  Insurance premiums are extremely high.  Working remote has been great but toxic culture of acquired agency has depleted me of any enjoyment in this role (yes it’s that bad)  Looking for another role. 

The company has gone through a number of leadership changes over the past five years which has changed the culture of some of their locations. 

There is opportunity for mentorship and movement within the company. With these changes there has been a mixture of in and outside hires.

Since RSC is still "up and coming" on the employee benefits side, there are limited resources. Account Managers are expected to handle all administrative, financial, and service responsibilities of a client. These separate entities are still a working progress.

Everything about the company was great.  From the culture to the senior management team to the work itself.  I was able to lead all aspects of IT and lead the company forward as we grew from 200 to 400 employees in only two years.  The only aspect I didn't enjoy was the extensive travel.  I was on the road four days a week for two years straight.  They are in a rapid acquisition growth stage so this is a requirement.  Otherwise, the people and processes are great.
