Cons
Travel is 100% based on the needs of the company. Travel can very well be 25-50% or can be 100% for months straight. It is difficult to maintain any sort of work life balance and relationships. A lot of people who have worked at TRG for a long time might discredit others who have given their honest feedback on this site. There are two side to every story. There is a lot of judgement and pressure if you’re not willing to give up your entire life for this job. Based on the current staffing levels and distribution of work, it’s standard to work more than a 40 hour work week. Supervisory positions are solely used as reason to give a pay increase. In turn, these supervisors are often unqualified to manage their teams. Management is overwhelmed with additional tasking and barely have the time to manage the company. Upward mobility can be difficult, but getting a raise is almost impossible without threatening to quit. No such thing as yearly raises. Most people that have been with the company 10+ years have received 2-3 raises, which they threatened to quit to receive.
