Rush Enterprises Reviews

Pros

Training & advancement are there for those willing to stepup & go for it. People are friendly. Management is very flexiable, as long as it's beneficial for all parties. Positive support is there.

Cons

While high expectations are expected of most, some are allowed to just coast along and there seems to be nothing done to motivate them to become a positive part of the team.

Advice to Senior Management

Better comunication. Reinforce support for those that show promise, and remove those that have shown that they are not willing to perform what is expected over time. In this economy there are way to many people that are willing to be a positive factor to a successful company given the chance.

Pros

Business is growing and there are lots of opportunities for someone willing to step up. There are numerous new systems either just implemented or in process, so this is a good time to get in on the ground floor.

Cons

Very unstructured, not a lot of processes and procedures are vague or MIA. Staffing is also on the light side, especially for technical operations.

Advice to Senior Management

Growth is good and moving fast is good, but make sure you learn from mistakes and take advantage\repeat successes.

Pros

The opportunities are endless. You go as far as you want to go. You are treated fairly and allowed to do your job without a lot of interference.

Cons

Sometimes people are given to many chances even they continuously prove they cannot to the job they were hired to do.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to look forward and use the people that got you to this point. Be a little more proactive in giving positive feedback for jobs done well.

Pros

Advice to Senior Management

need to train the management team

Pros

Management is very understanding most of the time. They did a great job of following corporate rules and regulations. Most everyone who works there is friendly.

Cons

If you are not a Tech worker you are very underpaid for such a fast pace environment. Training is not very good. They do a bad job at reviewing employee work. Its hard to get hired here unless you know someone. Corporate doesn't really care about anyone other than themselves.

Advice to Senior Management

More training and a little more understanding of you're employee's needs.

Pros

Rush is a financially solid corporation, and pays a fair salary.

Cons

Senior management is obssesed with surrounding themselves with yes-men and/or family members with limited to no experience. Promotions are realtively unheard of from within, so if you take a position with Rush, you'd better like it. You'll be there until somebody's brother-in-law needs a job.

Advice to Senior Management

Get out of the office and visit a few of the locations where real work is performed. I know that it has been years since some of the stores have seen Rusty.

Pros

Flexibility, golf outings, friendly-environment and the possibility of making lots of money!

Cons

Poor Management communication, no training on product knowledge, inadequate and inconsistent workforce.

Advice to Senior Management

Create a newsletter that is relevant to each department. Create training, workshops and meetings to improve work ethics, increase motivation, develop product knowledge, success stories and strategies.

Pros

The people are very friendly and great to work for and with.

Cons

Sometimes it seems people play favorites when giving promotions and raises.

Advice to Senior Management

There should be bonuses for more than just the executives.

Pros

The pay is resonable and working first shift is not bad. That is about it.

Cons

You have to be independant. Not in a good way, nobody helps.

Advice to Senior Management

Care more about the employees, not just about the money
