Reynolds and Reynolds - worst place to work, according Glassdoor

[Sassyone]

I expect to hear any day now that Reynolds will be moving their headquarters to Houston. They been moving job positions that way since the takeover.

Also, now that they are implementing a no smoking ban on current and future employees to begin in January 2011, more and more folks will be exiting that place.

Maybe if Reynolds management didn't fib about the earning potential and problems with their "next generation" software...the stock wouldn't have gone in the toilet which made the company ripe for a takeover.

Reynolds is a joke since Brockman took over. I had worked with Reynolds for almost 12 years and had over 25 years of Automotive experience. When I applied for a sales position internally, I had been turned down due to some personality trait exam that I failed to complete years earlier. WHAT? Are you kidding me. Obviously, I told the Company to go #&$% themselves and now I am earning well over 6 figures in my new career and being treated like a person. So long Reynolds, I know you will not make it another 5 years under the Brockman Regime. Brockman is Done!

I retired from Reynolds & Reynolds in Ohio this year. And to date, there have been several employees exiting this place like rats. WHY? Brockman's dictatorship is the answer, and I do not blame them. When he dictates that if you were a smoker and quit and NO ONE at your residence can not smoke because that is a NO NO, that is wrong. You are not on the property, so your private life is none of Reynolds business.
No one likes the dictatorship changes being made, but due to the economy, there are not an over abundance of jobs available, so you try not to make waves so you can keep your job, until someone decides to walk you out with humiliation.
Richard Grant (who started this company) has probably rolled over in his grave hundreds of times, wondering how Reynolds could allow such a thing to happen to what once was a good company to work for.

I was a UCS employee from 2001-2002, in the Regional Systems Consulting Group. While my immediate bosses were ok, the culture in houston was awful. I was a college graduate, in my first job making a WHOPPING $30,000/yr! AND I had to but 4 suits to wear every day. 6 months into my employment, they let us wear UCS branded polos, but only a few times a week. On outings to visit client sites (I only traveled 25% of the time), I drove a 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis... now THAT's class! My family urged me to quit, and referred to them as the "evil empire". I posted my resume on monster, got called into HR because they found my resume, and eventually found a job making $48k. For 13 months I sold my soul to Mr Burns ("Simpsons" reference: Brockman looks like the walking dead). I don't regret it at all, as it taught me to enjoy any job I will ever have, because trust me, it doesn't get any worse than UCS, or apparently Reynolds and Reynolds...

Totally legal as long as it is disclosed up front. Dayton Power and Light has not had a smoker employed there since 1992.

Reynolds almost killed me... gave me a heart condition and so stressed out I almost lost my life in a car accident. They laid me off the day I came back from FMLA, t was the worst part of my life but I have a good job now and my health is good my face is not quite the same but I am alive and if still worked at Reynolds I know I would be dead... That is how they treat there employees, they literally make them want to die. If you buy anything Rey you are supporting terrorism and I am living proof.
