Pros

Ria Financial is a global company that prides itself on serving our customers by allowing them to send money to their families, friends, and loved ones. By working at Ria we get to support that Global mission every day which alone is something that provides each of us satisfaction in our work. In addition as a global company we get a chance to meet and work with people from all over the globe not to mention even travel to some far off places to see the different people of Ria. Finally the growth, since starting at Ria we have grown tremendously and so have I as a person and an employee. Our parent company has achieved substantial growth (just look at the stock price) and with that has come significant growth in our staff and opportunities within the day to day work around us. Overall Ria is an excellent place to call home and has been my longest tenured company in my 20+ years of work history.

Cons

Every company will have something you don't like and I am sure that exists here as well, but in general it is a great place to work that checks all the boxes for myself and my family.

Pros

Not many pros here. For some its the people, for others its the free lunch once a week. Free food wasnt important to me.

Cons

Initial onboarding was nonexistent. The culture is very every man for himself which really hinders collaboration even though thats the justification for being in a hybrid work schedule. Senior Management is terrible at managing the business so instead they bring in a consulting firm (not out of the ordinary) to make recommendations on where the business should be headed. They are far behind competitors in terms of product offerings, reliability, and trust because there is too much bureaucracy. The physical retail stores have become a hinderance for the company. Career advancement is not something managers will work with you on unless you constantly ask and even then there is no clear progression plan or support to reach that goal for yourself. Work will start and then stop because "someone disagrees" - more tenured employees will complain and use that tenure to try and either take credit for something or top work they think we shouldn't do when its not their decision. They will lay you off due to cost saving measures and then rehire your role in another country to save money. You will be paid under market value and your annual raise will be a paltry 2% mostly eaten up by taxes. They say they offer bonuses but that is inconsistent and if you do get one again it will be small and non-impactful and be eaten up by taxes. Their internal recognition program is not great. Most people submit for their friends rather than people doing impactful work. Feels like a popularity contest.
