Pros

Coming from covid, there were lots of hard times for the culture and the team but we came out of it smaller and stronger. I am grateful we survived, and things have really changed. Post-pandemic, Rustic is full of happy, excited, motivated employees who are learning from the mistakes of the past.

Cons

Pay is a low and hasn't kept pace with inflation.
