Rustic Pathways reviews about "match"

The truth is if you are reading this you missed the boat on when Rustic was a great company to work for. Walk away, it isn't worth it. They will sell you on a mission and a vision that is no longer real. The new version of Rustic's #1 priority is profit (not so it can grow, take care of its people, or do more in communities). Just good old fashioned "make the investors as much $$ as possible" profit. Pay - has always been low (and for employees they didn't lay off they actually decreased wages). My guess is salaries are 30% below market rate. No raises either. Benefits - some of the poorest benefits out there. No 401k match, mediocre insurance, and most of the fun perks that used to exist are gone too. Culture - it is nothing like it used to be. Leadership - current leadership drove the company into financial hardship, so much so that they basically forced themselves into selling out to the new owners. Then they laid off 30% of the employees but kept themselves around. Severance - in recent lay offs they capped severance at 4 weeks. Some employees have been here for over 14 years and they were let go with no warning and given 4 weeks. It's disgraceful.

The travel industry has taken some hits recently, which made for a rough patch in terms of hiring, but since making some adjustments to the cost structure, it feels like we're on the right track. No 401k match, which makes saving harder. Always a lot of work (can be a good thing too, because never get bored!)

Life on the road is hard. The travel industry sucks right now but I hope we’re on the right track. No 401k match, which really makes saving for the long term a whole lot harder. Always a lot of work. Lots of changes.
