Below are real quotes from real RJF employees!

Position: Account Manager

"I have been an RJF employee for 7.5 years. I came to RJF because my previous employer did not give me the growth and advancement opportunities I was looking for. RJF has provided me with the ability to come to work every day and learn something new. I have held 3 positions in my time here. In each instance my manager and the leadership team at RJF took an active interest in making sure that I was challenged and that growth potential existed for me. The continued growth and excellence in leadership at RJF are why I work here. RJF is growing and encouraging employees to do the same. Our leadership team is second to none. They are the reason so many RJF employees are so loyal: their values and leadership inspire that loyalty. The dedication to employees is uncommon, and it is reflected in the leaders throughout RJF.
"I would recommend working at RJF to a friend because what I am describing is not something you will find at most companies. At RJF, your work is appreciated. At RJF, you are given an opportunity to shine and to make a difference for clients. At RJF, the team's success is your success. At RJF, we care about one another and help one another out. When my triplets were born almost four years ago, this company and its employees supported me and my family immensely. My manager helped me work out a plan to be at home for a great deal of time immediately after their birth. A concerned co-worker and teammate brought me a much-needed Diet Coke daily for almost a whole year. We received three carloads of baby gifts and supplies when my co-workers organized a baby shower for our family. I would certainly want a friend to have an opportunity to be a part of an environment like RJF's, and I don't believe it is duplicated anywhere else.
"Employees I see succeeding here are those who embrace our core values. Unlike some companies, the leaders of RJF truly believe in and exemplify our values. This is not for everyone - expectations of living these values are high, both from leaders and peers. My advice to a new or prospective employee would be to carefully examine the values and culture of our company and make sure that at their own core, they are in alignment with these fundamentals. And, once on board, I would further advise that an employee remember that every action they take as an RJF employee should be consistent with our values. "

"I work at RJF because I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else every day of the year. I enjoy being able to work with my closest friends and for a management team that truly cares about my career and my future. RJF has taught me not only what it is to be an amazing employer, but also the results of being so great to your employees.
"I would recommend you make a career at RJF because you will finally feel like a part of the "bigger picture." You will have a say in your future, as well as the direction of the company. You will walk away every day feeling challenged and rewarded.
"My advice to a new employee would be to make yourself known. Offer ideas when you feel it’s appropriate, make new friends that will last a lifetime and, finally, enjoy waking up every day! Work hard, be considerate, and you will see the results."

"I work at RJF because it is an exciting and dynamic organization. There are always new challenges faced by our customers that allows us to help them better run their businesses. Seeing our customers succeed is very rewarding.
It’s also nice working for an organization with a terrific reputation in our industry, one that is built on integrity and hard work.

"For me, integrity of leadership is critical and we have it at RJF. I love the energy in the shop. Admittedly, it has waned a bit as we age, but it's still a darn sight better than most agencies.
"I'd recommend this place as a place where you have great people to work with. There are wonderful career opportunities if you choose to work for them. RJF provides empowerment in your job. All of the jobs around here require people to think and to take ownership of their responsibilities. Simply, there’s no assembly line work at RJF.
"Dive in. It's a great place to work and play."

Position: Account Executive & Group Leader
Location: Hayward, WI
"I worked for the prior agency before RJF Agencies bought this office in 1999. Anytime you are purchased, it makes for tension. However, Bill and Tim made it seamless. That was the beginning of one of the best jobs I have ever had."
"I truly believe it isn't just what you do for a living, but where you work and who you work for that really determines a Great Place to Work. I have been able to raise my son (I'm a single Mom) and never been made to feel like the things I had to do for him were "interfering with my job". There truly is a feeling of Family First at RJF, and the employees and management here are just an extension of your family. Living in a small town is great, but often jobs that pay well and offer good benefits are hard to find. I have enjoyed all of these things for the last eight years, and it has made my home life that much simpler. The management and employees at RJF are just "good people.""
