So glad I no longer work there the pressure of the job was too high and all the employees were negative and unhelpful

The good thingsThe high pay was the only positive at Rain Bird

The challengesManagement was difficult to deal with and you were given no support. You were expecting to know things even though you hadn't been showed and the expectation was to work in excess of 50 hours a week there was no work, family, life balance.
