Francise oowners stronly push for profitability and growth
Estimator, Marketing Representative (Former Employee) – Burlington, NC – July 16, 2018
Work[place fundamentally was self centered and in some cases sugar coated about their work ethics. No health benefits offered. No opportunity for managerial advancement. Tone of owners more in tune with methods to grow business and economical gain.
Pros
Not much
Cons
Insufficient comfort in workplace or motivation. .
Ran by people that did not know the industry

The company I was working for was bought by a father/son team who turned the company into a Rainbow franchise. They ended up having to close their doors.

hours, co-workers

Busiest and most stressful job i ever worked
Fire and water restoration (Former Employee) – Saint Paul, MN – June 27, 2018

Employment at Rainbow International
Mitigation Technician/Warehouse Manager (Former Employee) – Newport News, VA 23606 – March 27, 2018
The average day at rainbow was pretty relaxed. Ive learned a lot working for the company. The management was great they worked a lot with my children and I with our schedules. The most enjoyable part of the company was the people and management. The hardest part of the job was working with temps that would only work for a week then not return.
Pros
Relaxed company
Cons
Not stable
Great place to be!
Operations Assistant (Current Employee) – Columbia, SC – March 6, 2018
I found the restoration buisness in my early 20's. After just a few months I found out I loved it! Helping people is a great feeling. Every day there is something differnet. Ive worked on huge homes to historical buildings to hospitals and even the State Capital Building here in Columbia. I really do love. If you are willing to work very hard on hot summer days and long hours when the whole city freezes over this is the job for you.
Pros
too many to name!
Cons
Not every customer is fun to work for.
Stressful and unpredictable

Lunch breaks
Cons
No healthcare
Wonderful company
Office Manager (Former Employee) – Lindsay, OK – January 7, 2018

Pros
Extremely positive learning environment

Very long workdays left me exhausted at the end of the day.
Getting to know how you changed a homeowners day when the project was done.

Business Development Manager (Former Employee) – California – December 22, 2017
Rainbow is an independently owned franchise. Each Rainbow compensates BDAs differently and expectations are different from franchise to franchise. The bigger budget for marketing, the more success you have. Some franchisees are able to send BDAs to training, summits, and offer incentives
Pros
Training
Cons
Sometimes there is not enough of a budget given for marketing
Great Company but...
Estimator/Project Manager (Current Employee) – Cincinnati, OH – November 28, 2017
I have a lot of respect for the owners, they mean well and really know the restoration business but it is fast pace business and they are just missing a base foundation of training and development for their employees to advance and grow the business.
Lack of work
Field Manager (Current Employee) – Litchfield, MI – November 14, 2017
Typical day would be to go to different job sites and maintain water and or fire damage. I have learned how to read the moisture in wood and learned how to wash contents that were previously in a fire.
Pros
hours are 7:30-4:00 Monday-Friday
Cons
Not dependable, not enough hours
Buen ambiente durante el break

Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) – Albuquerque, NM – September 17, 2017
It was alright, but I didn't have a secure job. My co workers were really nice understanding so was my manager. But it wasn't a fair understanding if I was gonna have a job or not.
It was okay
Director of Business Development (Former Employee) – San Diego – August 16, 2017
I liked the environment and the business grew quickly, the management was nice and I had a good time working there. Would recommend it to someone else if they asked me about my experience.
Poorly run company
Technician (Former Employee) – Byron, MI – August 10, 2017
The owners of the Byron Center location were very unorganized. They don't care for their employees
Pay is terrible for the hours and work they require.
Want you to be dedicated employee but they don't care about you.

Cons
Healthcare/ wages
Not for everyone. But if you like being micromanaged and never advance then this is the Job for you!
Technician (Former Employee) – Columbia, SC – July 26, 2017
You will be treated like an incompetent child. From 8 to whenever they let you leave. They talk a big game but will not deliver. The most enjoyable part of the job is the guys you work with. The hardest part is dealing with management. Stay away unless you cant find anything else.
Pros
overtime
Cons
the only way to get promoted is to get injured or move to a different company.
