Pros

Competitive pay, diversity, inclusion, eco-friendly.

Cons

Unstable hours, unstable management structure, little to no ability to transfer shifts or departments. Day shift and night shift are not treated equally or offered the same opportunities.

Advice to Management

Rivian has a good thing going, but hires middle managers who care nothing about people. It's strictly numbers, numbers, numbers.

Stop beating on the team about numbers when equipment problems plague every area of the plant. Be more mindful of safety in the plant and more accommodating to team leaders you've screwed over with "cost saving" demotions and forced schedule changes.

Wall Street and other investors will never EVER be satisfied, so stop catering to them. Cater to the people actually building your product.

Have RJ make the case to investors that you won't neglect the wellbeing of the team to appease perpetually "results" driven expectations. Make people the priority over profits.
