Pros

The employees that actually work

Cons

CEO and President. Commission structure constantly changed for the benefit of two people. Owner bought a 150K Porsche while getting rid of his best earners and then didn't pay money owed. Spent another 150K on a Vegas trip at Hakkasan while he lied about an expansion that never happened. What happened to third floor expansion? What about RPM Tow Systems? Stay away from this company its a fraudulent company, they dont pay their carriers. Do a little research its easy to find. Or just ask someone who works there, I promise they are not happy.

One of the things we value at RPM is our open door policy for our employees to share their experiences (good or bad), provide clarification regarding certain situations, and get meaningful feedback in order to continually improve our operations and culture. We always welcome feedback, so it is disappointing that you have you chosen to make your feelings known on this type of platform. There is no reason to address the lack of merit within this review. Now, more than ever we remain committed to being the best place to work in Michigan!

Pros

Not really any, awful experience. Very few people are nice and there is a lot of bullying. People who work here are caddy and management is awful, loud and immature. Not professional in any way.

Cons

Disorganized, not good people, they lie, cheat, and do shady things. Leadership is extremely immature and brag about going out and spending money at bars, clubs, frat parties, and parting. Not a serious environment to grow a career or take seriously. The people are rude and very caddy not a team environment at all.

Pros

Met a lot of good people. Cool beverage machine.

Cons

Literally everything else. The executive team should just move to Vegas and start a new magic show at one of the casinos they frequent because that is all they are good at. Smoke and mirrors. They don’t care about anyone at all. Commissions keep getting cut, the best leaders have all either quit or have been removed for earning too much, and the current employee base is overworked and very under appreciated. Have a family? Not at RPM. Sick? Not at RPM. Don’t even get me started on the harassment or lack of anyone to go to about it since there is no HR and everything gets swept under the rug.
