Pros
Had a great experience here at RB no doubt but the hours plus commute drained my social life totally. Energetic vibrant atmosphere Responsibility from early on in career
Cons
Work load - Tough and stressful but its almost the same in all CPG firms some may pay more though Location- I joined RB because its one of the consumer good companies near NYC but the daily travel time drove me nuts and is one of the primary reasons why I left last month. Route 80/280 are extremely accident prone and driving from manhattan is a pain daily despite being part of a 4 member carpool. Had to leave "home" at 6:30am as other members did not have assigned parking and street parking is not allowed on most streets in NYC after 7am. Had to leave "office" well after 7:00pm as someone or the other or myself had to sit late to finish up on some deadline. So its leave home at 6:30am and return around 8:30pm- worse than some investment bankers Spent over 2 hours daily in the car as it is a hour commute either way, the reverse commute does not help and I tried to live in Morris Plains/Morris Town for a month, could have shot myself due to depression.
