RAB Lighting Employee Reviews about "working at rab"

Pros

I've been working at RAB for a while now and this place is a great learning and growing opportunity. The company is headed into the right direction especially with new ideas and culture to improve our drive in the market. The company is in a nice neighborhood, free healthy lunch, and the best benefit package I heard of so far. There are a lot of friendly people as well and RAB is a good place to grow into.

Cons

Because we are constantly growing, there are growing pains along the way. The facilities are currently over packed but its something to deal with until more facilities are acquired and built. Of course there should be more parking and bathrooms. you have 2 toilet stalls shared with 100 people. As for the negative reviews left listed below me, I do know which ex-employee wrote that and most of them are pretty bogus and false is because they don't know how to work together.

Pros

I have been working at RAB for many years and watched it grow from humble beginnings into the innovative, professional, mid size company that it is today. Ask almost anyone in the electrical industry about RAB and you will get an outpouring of admiration for product quality, integrity and business policies that have earned their respect. Having customers and employees that enjoy working with RAB makes it easy to work here. Salary, benefits and personnel policies are generous and fair. There are a bunch of negative reviews written in July by what looks like one person who was very unhappy (same misspelled words repeated, same vicious tone). I can assure you that these reviews do not reflect anything other than that person's opinion, probably after being terminated. The company is a wonderful place to work. Or I wouldn't be here. By the way, RAB has a truly free lunch served every day in our Northvale office.

Cons

The exceptional growth of the company has led to lots of new and exciting changes. Some initiatives have worked very well and others needed to be modified or eliminated. That has led to some dislocation as people get used to the new plans that will serve us better in the future.

Pros

During my time at RAB I have seen a few lows and many highs. Right now we have been on a 6 year high. Due to the leadership of our CEO and the management team, the company has gone through unprecedented growth. The direction and the vision set forth by our CEO has transformed RAB from a follower to a leader in the lighting industry. Aggressive product development and freedom to create are some of the perks for working at RAB. Another perk is personal satisfaction which is acknowledged through very generous bonuses. Investment in training, equipment, software and people is unparalleled in our industry. All departments work well together and it's a real pleasure to work with everyone there. Very little bureaucracy allows the managers and employees to all pull in the same direction towards one goal - Company success .

Cons

Long distance from my house, but I have been gladly doing it for a long time. Definitely worth the trip.

Pros

None, they took away the only pro, free lunch

Cons

I used to love coming to work, the people were great, the management team was decent but at the very least they were decent people. The new management team is absolutely clueless. Besides having little to none industry experience, they are unwilling to learn about lighting, our company culture, or the people who make up this company. After firing all of the 'lifelong' employees, they recently laid off 10% of our office staff. Those who were not laid off are actively looking for new jobs, including supply chain which has experienced over half of the department quitting in the last 3 months. RAB rarely promotes from within, makes false promises to their employees, constantly asks them to write positive reviews for recruiting websites, and does NOT care about their employees at all. Now that lunch is gone we have all taken the equivalent of a pay cut and there really are no benefits of working at RAB vs. any other company.

Pros

Working at RAB, exceeded my expectations. The company provides great benefits, values employees, supports professional development. I can't thank the CEO enough for supporting us during the COVID-19 pandemic times, by protecting our jobs and making it possible for all of us to work from home. He also communicates on regular basis by emails and keeps us informed on company status. The CEO stepped up and donated PPE & Lunches to the area hospitals & healthcare providers. The CEO's reaction to the recent events, and my personal experiences with racial discrimination, it makes me feel so secure and safe to be working at RAB.

Cons

I thought of recent organizational changes as" cons", only to realize that it actually was for the betterment of the company. Now I can see things settling and a lot of improvement.

Pros

The pros of working at RAB lighting was that their training was extensive.

Cons

The con of working at RAB was that we would have to use esd jackets.

Pros

RAB Lighting is a great company to work for if you are looking for a company that values culture. I have been working at RAB Lighting for 25+ years and all employees are treated with a sense of value and appreciation. Our CEO encourages employee feedback and involves us in the decision making. Throughout our growth period, the company continued to operate as a family owned business with both employees and customers in mind. I am extremely appreciative to continue to work for a company that cares!

Cons

I do not have cons to mention
