      Disappointed in this Organization

      International business development program
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Travel, flexible hours, working remotely. There are many employees who really care about Rustic's mission, but upper management is another store.

      Cons

      The company is in financial trouble and goes through repeated periods of laying off and then rehiring. Most people in the Intntl Business Development program over the last few years were laid off without any notice. The company, despite what it will tell you, is all about the bottom line, and presses employees (specifically entry-level positions like mine) to work far more than 40 hours and take on responsibilities outside your job description. Moreover, there is a real lack of diversity and inclusion.

      Thanks for providing your input. You’re absolutely right that we got out over our skis during a period of rapid growth. With that growth came a certain amount of unplanned change in our team and how we operate. One thing we realized is that we didn’t have a strong middle layer of managers to sustain and scale the things that make Rustic, Rustic. You deserved better support, and I apologize for the poor experience that you had. The process of change that I orchestrated has been painful for all of us, but necessary for Team Rustic to be stable and strong. If you would like to talk about it more, please give me a call. If not, please know that I wish you all the best. Chris Stakich CEO

      Business outlook

      Pros

      No micro-managing! Not punitive when mistakes are made - more of a "learn from your mistakes" type of place. Flexible hours, casual attire, fun atmosphere! Staff can work remotely and there's opportunities to travel the world! Can't get much better than that.

      Cons

      High workload. Work/life balance can be difficult to maintain due to this. But the flexible hours and the ability to work at home help with this a lot.
