Pros
Enjoy bonding with your coworkers about how awful this company is. HR loves to highlight that Global Rescue employees generally like the people who they work with, but fail to realize that the basis for these friendships is misery and shared distain for the leadership of this company, particularly the CEO and HR.
Cons
No matter what stage of career you’re at, Global Rescue is a bad place to work. Managers and directors may appear to be given responsibility and oversight, but make no mistake: every decision at this company, no matter how small, is ultimately decided by the CEO. Unfortunately, this dynamic does not shield managers and directors from his ire when his own micromanaged directives fail to produce results. As the company’s disastrous 2016 multimillion-dollar losses make clear, Dan Richards lacks the business acumen to exercise the amount of oversight he insists on having at the company. Entry-level employees have little incentive for promotion and no role models at the company. Self-starters and hard workers quickly learn that leadership is more apt to punish initiative than reward it. Managers and directors will and have thrown lower-level employees under the bus to protect themselves from the ire of the CEO. Within a month of working at Global Rescue, workers have already picked up the fatalistic attitude that permeates the workforce - an attitude that is reinforced by the constant turnover, semi-regular firings, and distrust towards HR.
