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.
