Pros
I met a few good people who I consider friends. A few out of hundreds.
Cons
1. The corporate office is full of rude and unprofessional people 2. There is no such thing as management, only micro-managing 3. Micro-managing comes from someone not qualified to be in a "management" position 4. There is no formal training, everything you learn is ad-hoc 5. Nobody is ever at fault except for you, even when it's not your fault, you will always be blamed 6. You will be treated as inferior no matter who you are 7. You will be disrespected and talked down to often 8. You will receive borderline sexual harassment comments from management 9. Do not try to complain to HR, they are just as crooked as the others 10. Do not trust anybody in "management" 11. They think "bagel Wednesday" is something to be proud of 12. Nepotism is apparent 13. Racial discrimination is obvious 14. There is no on-boarding process 15. BRG does not value it's employees and does not practice employee recognition 16. BRG does not try to train and retain it's reputable employees 17. You will hate your job everyday you leave that office 18. Unless you live in Emeryville, the commute is not worth it 19. Work-Life balance is not important to employees who are not "management" 20. Read the other reviews - you do not want to work at BRG As far as work goes, training is "ad hoc" but heaven forbid anything goes wrong it's all YOUR fault. No exceptions. Most days, there isn't even any work to do yet the billing manager always feels the need to hire more people. I'd say I was busy maybe 5 days out of the month. BRG is all about double-standards. What is okay for one person, is not okay for everyone else. Do not succumb to the evils of BRG...if this is your first job out of college, stay for experience. Other than that, there are WAY better options out there with HIGHER salaries, BETTER benefits, and PROFESSIONAL co-workers. This is California, the job market is great right now. I gave the CEO a thumbs down. I've never even met the guy. But he is blind to the ways of the corporate office, nor does he even really care.
