How has the RFBI evolved to remain relevant today?The RFBI was founded in 1880 to assist the poor and needy at a time when there were no government funded social welfare programs. Over 130 years later, this role is still being undertaken; albeit to a much lesser degree, through our annuity scheme.We have also introduced a Benevolence Assistance Program, where special cases of need are identified, assessed and assistance granted. All donations through the Lodges as well as many other forms of donations are expended in these areas, free of all administration costs. In other words, each dollar given to the RFBI is donated in total to a worthy cause.Source: This is an extract from the company's own website.

VERY UNPROFESSIONAL
I can see why they are always advertising for workers
The good thingsAbsolutely nothing
Was told I would be starting when my medical was sent through, which was done as I called to check if it had been sent, was then ignored after calling multiple times and told they would get back to me.
No explanation
nothing
The challengesManagement, as they couldnt even call to say why I wasnt put on, after telling me I would be as soon as the medical went through.
Basically lied to me.
Kept telling me the Manager was in a meeting and would call back, but they never did.
