Senior management and ownership is solely focused on cash flow and not on the quality of the product offered to restaurants nor the consumer experience. Management resignations and changes since take-private have been a step backwards.

Advice to Senior Management

no point in offering advice, they dont listen and dont care about their employees

Pros

A very talented and extremely bright group of employees. Committed, passionate, a rare culture where best practices were openly shared across regions and territories for the benefit of all. In addition, by being solely focused on the restaurant community, the company was infused with the same sense of energy and excitement.

Cons

Senior Management began to lead according to bonus objective as defined by EBITDA performance. Change was often times hastily conceived and poorly executed. In the final analysis, they were a member based restaurant marketing company that could never market themselves.

no growth. get what you can out of your position and move on.
in ability to innovate.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your employees. Great leaders know they don't know everything.

Pros

The people who worked at RN was generally a good group of people. The problem lies with management at this company. I have never worked with a group of managers that had less sense of what they were doing or how to operate a company.

Cons

Extremely poor management, ineffective use of resources and company time. Very little originality to marketing tactics and little respect for employees ideas. Don't expect a raise if you work here. Most people realize after a year or two of being at RN that it's time to get out, the one's with any ambition anyhow.

Advice to Senior Management

Value your employees more. Respect their ideas. The top management in charge of marketing has made some extremely poor choices in how to conduct herself in the workplace and how to treat her employees. This person has a very lackluster sense of marketing considering the level of the position she holds in the company.

Pros

People worked well together - management clear about what is expected

Cons

Benefits could be expanded. Not well explained

Advice to Senior Management

None

Pros

Advice to Senior Management
