They don't practice what they preach

Pros

RedGuard is a family owned company with less than 300 employees. The company follows Jim Collins philosophies, has room for advancement and growth opportunities...if you fit in and are "liked" by leadership. The company has a relax atmosphere, Midwest values and tries to promote teamwork and collaboration. The company is starting to expand it's product lines and global footprint.

Cons

The company does not practice what it preaches. The company lacks a vision and strategy that is sustainable. Change is good but too much change is problematic. RedGuard has a hard time sticking to a plan or goal. RedGuard is truly lacking people leaders. The company has experienced tremendous turnover lately. The companies benefits are improving but has a lack of policies to retain good talent. If you did not grow up in Conway Springs, Cheney or another small surrounding town you may not fit in. RedGuard lacks diversity in professional positions, management and leadership. The company continues to invest in a product line that is over 5 years old and not profitable.

Could be a great company

Pros

The rank and file employees try their best.

Cons

They have lost a lot of talented employees due to mismanagement. Their HR department acts like a sorority. The upper management is arrogant and naïve. They don't understand or don't care what their employees think or care about. Also, should you decide to go to work for them, ask about the 401k. Those of us that have left found out that they hold it for 1 year after you leave. One former employee asked the DOL if that was legal and surprisingly it is. They won't tell you that up front. Typical deception that they practice against their employees every chance they get.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. After listening to employees, evaluating our benefits packages and comparing them to our competitors in the area, we decided to adjust our 401(k) plan in 2017 to ensure we’re providing our employees the benefits they are comfortable with. We listened and have changed the waiting period to roll over funds to 90 days instead of 12 months. We appreciate your input, and if you have any further feedback to share, please submit it online at www.redguard.com/feedback

Great Product, Less than Stellar Management

Pros

The product line is sturdy and does the job well. Marketing materials are top notch.

Cons

No raises in 2017 due to Financial stresses with many layoffs. Small raises in 2018, but then the company complains about being able to afford them. The culture is often referred to as "The Friends and Family Plan."

Thank you for sharing your feedback. The downturn in the oil and gas market had a large impact on our financial health, but we were happy to see a turnaround in 2018, which we approached conservatively. We are excited about 2019 which looks to be a year of continued growth. Our company culture is an important piece of our business and we strive to make sure that all employees have the opportunity to contribute.
