Rittal Reviews

Pros

Great coworkers and overall good feedback on my work. Flexible schedule and kept me busy enough. Professional environment that kept the scale of the company intact even though the HQ is in Urbana.

Cons

The work I did was rather bland and boring. I felt like I was using one tenth of my brain. From an engineering perspective, it did not present much of a challenge whatsoever.

Pros

Rittal offers innovative products that employees can be proud of. Rittal employs quality people, who care about their colleagues. Rittal offers an excellent benefit package.

Cons

As Rittal is a privately held, non-union company compensation is not standardized. Employment is "at will" instead of by contract.

Advice to Senior Management

Rittal Corporation would benefit from more efficient dispersal of information. An internal interface that allow one to see contact information and job description of co-workers would benefit the company.

Pros

Flexible hours (although that has changed apparently). This being very good if you live across town or have to use public transport to get to work or due to poor weather.
Easy-going atmosphere MOST of the time but it would always get hectic at the end of the month (poor management)

Cons

Month-end rush, every month just to "pump-up the numbers"and make sales look good to headquarters.
Virtually no-way to progressively move-up the ladder in your area. It appears that management would rather keep most people in a certain position so that they would not have to increase their pay?

Advice to Senior Management

I believe that the parent company is using Kaparel for nothing more then a tax write-off because of some decisions I have seen in another company I worked for (now out of business)
