      Pros

      I had a short commute to my office.

      Cons

      Rettew is very behind the times when it comes to equality. It's a conservative, traditional company where men have all the top spots & women are thought of as secretaries from the 1960's. In our office, we called it the "good old boys club" and many men at Rettew recognize that this is an issue as well. They don't speak out though because they worry about their own careers. Listening to a fellow employee call Hillary Clinton the c-word the day after Donald Trump won the election, and laugh about it on the phone with another co-worker, is an example of the misogyny that I witnessed. There simply aren't a lot of women at this company, period, and even less when you take into account management roles. There are also very few minorities. While similar companies that we have worked at were very diverse. In addition to the above, there is a huge problem with poor overall management and very unhappy employees. There are some very good managers but most are not at all. A lot of us feel like we don't even know our managers very well. And finally, I have seen people let go that in no way deserved to be. Someone in my office was fired for the lamest reason, simply because the manager wanted someone different in the role. The way that person was treated was inexcusable. There's a lot of talk at Rettew about how we're a family but given how people are treated, I would say nothing is further from the truth.

      I’m very sorry to hear your employment experience with RETTEW wasn’t a positive one. I appreciate the feedback you’ve shared and would like to address these issues. Regarding equality, RETTEW believes in providing career opportunities to qualified, motivated employees without discrimination. While we in no way condone discrimination of any kind, we acknowledge there’s room for improvement in becoming a more diverse organization. As the female Director of Human Resources and member of the company’s Board of Directors, I know our leadership team is committed to this effort. The inappropriate comment described in your post following the last Presidential election is not something RETTEW would ever tolerate or excuse. We take a proactive approach when we learn of these situations, and had I been made aware of it, would have addressed it directly and immediately. As for the reason why an employee is let go, there are many circumstances that may lead to this. Due to the confidential nature of these situations, most of the details cannot and should not be shared with all employees. RETTEW makes a concerted effort to ensure employees are provided a fair opportunity to succeed, and we try very hard to work with employees when there’s a need for improvement. Again, I’m truly sorry your experience with RETTEW was not what you had hoped for. Thank you for your feedback, and I wish you the best in your current and future endeavors.

      Pros

      Since joining RETTEW in July of 2025, I've immersed myself within the organization to learn about its people, its history, the evolutions of the organization and its current state. I am still fully convinced my arrival at RETTEW is very much characterized by a RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME story arc. This organization is experiencing a transformation that is exciting, fulfilling and full of opportunity. In my experience, leadership is genuinely open to feedback, and members of the entire organization are heard regardless of title. My experience here has been what I've made it, and I am grateful I've chosen to engage, invest and grow my career here right now and into the future.

      Cons

      Change can be hard. Processes are always improving. With growth sometimes comes uncertainty. This will always be true, and it will be felt by those who are new to the organization when they engage with those who have been around. There is wisdom to be gained from our experiences.

      Pros

      They pay you every two weeks, have an ESOP and some of the people are great to work with.

      Cons

      About a year ago things change at Rettew, they decided to end working fully remote and switched to a hybrid model. People spoke out, concerns were ignored and the plan pushed forward, the brainchild of the new COO who is basically a corporate stiff that closes himself off to everyone and makes decisions based on statistics and articles. They ignored everyone, well, they pretended to listen and implemented the hybrid policy over several months and said that we'd have compassionate leadership that listens to us as we navigate the return to office. Corporate lingo basically, just to try and make us feel better about a change we were all against. Many people left the company and yet they didn't change their minds. They plunged ahead with their ill conceived plan.
