The RLM Corporate Office has been a great place to work. This company is steadily growing and there are very rarely boring days. There is so much opportunity to learn something new and collaborate with other departments. I started as semi-entry level and was quickly acknowledged for my individual talents and skill sets that proved to be assets to the company. I have gained more responsibility, pay raises and the satisfaction of knowing I am a vital part of this team. 
The owner of RLM is incredibly involved with the day to day business as well the bigger picture. He takes the time to not only acknowledge the great work of all his employees (not just at the corporate level but also at each store level) but gets to know them personally and provides multiple opportunities through out the year to celebrate the good work of his employees including company wide events and day trips. I have never had such a generous and appreciative CEO prior.
The culture in this work place is work hard, play hard. We work very hard for the common goal and we are celebrated for that hard work. If you take pride in the work you do, you would fit in seamlessly. We take the work seriously but also allow humor and levity to keep things in balance.
What I enjoy most from working for this company are the people that are part of the team and the culture that allows your personal talents shine through. I feel supported, appreciated and respected which is a breath of fresh air.

I like my location, my coworkers and my manager and most the regular guest. The thing is the store is 24/7 and we have a budget of hours to give out. Always feel understaffed. If someone calls out you have to stay a few hours later or do a double. Unrealistic expectations for one person to accomplish on their shift. You are doing five different jobs for the compensation of one. You are a cook, you are a cashier, you are a stocker, you are a marketer/sales person, you are maintenance, you are security, while being a customer service representative. These things are fine but when you are alone and this is expected of you every shift not including checking in vendors and deliveries, it gets tiresome. You can grow at my store how ever you need your driver's license and continue to remind manager and cooperate that you are qualified. 

I worked at Rusty for a year and a half and can surely say, they will work you to death if you let them. My basic duties were cleaning and maintaining all the ovens, preparing food for cases and customers, cashier, stock, sweeping and mopping the entire store, baking cookies, maintaining outer parking lot, basic maintenance tasks, and more. I barely ever got one day off a week, was constantly being used as a scapegoat for the managers inabilities, and for a period was the only kitchen worker on site. Most of the employees there are all seeking new employment or planning on just quitting all together. The longest a new hire has lasted was about 3 months, shortest being 2 days( more common than you think) like I said just hoard your paycheck while looking for something new

I always make sure my crew has the best work environment I can to make them feel more appreciated and more willing to do the task we need done when we need them done. I believe in creating a positive work environment which in turn leads to a productive an very satisfying job well done by the whole crew and in turn makes for a better work environment! Nothing more important then happy employees because without them their would be no job for me to do which is to encourage them and train them to be the best. If you are truly looking to get a job somewhere that shows you they appreciate you then rusty lantern is the place to be!

I don't even know where to start with this company. Upper management is atrocious. Their only job is to make those in the stores lives a living nightmare. There's absolutely no support. Forget about using overtime if you're understaffed. They expect managers to work 85 to 90 hours a week, but pay them for 40. Training is practically non-existent. And if you make a mistake, they will tell you it's your fault, and brush it under the rug for themselves. You are expendable. Your time means nothing to them. They will fire good employees on a whim, but keep dead weight around due to " loyalty ". Do not waste your time, unless you're looking for a dead end job, and zero appreciation.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Don't ever accept a job with this company they are absolutely horrible, horrible human beings and they're all liars from the owner down to your coworker that's works beside you. They're all liars and they'll try to work to death.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The entire management team from the Owner all down are horrible human beings and their liars

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment at this company is horrible

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It's horrible. Don't work here.

Great company to work for! Management is approachable, encouraging, and helpful. The company and owner appreciate the employees and value us as an essential component to their success. They care about the customers, cleanliness, consistency, and the quality of services and goods provided. The owner encourages and supports local business's by selling their products in the store. Through the Covid19 crisis they have not cut anyone’s hours or reduced staffing to keep profits up and have passed along extra benefits to employees to help with financial difficulties their families have had to face.

What is the best part of working at the company?
50 % off discount on food and 20% off other items 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Upper management demands too much. Was told my job should be like a marriage. 😤

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They are never fully staffed. And when they are they take staff members to work at other Rusty's. No communication.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy from start  to finish. And when you go on a break the upper management gives you attitude, as if you are not allowed breaks.

No place for advancement..doesn’t matter what you do..they will find someone better suited to keep you where they want you to be including pushing to another position (or 2) that was not applied for..no recognition..no team..if you decide to work for this company just know you will be training yourself or looking through a terribly organized food *bible* to complete orders you are not familiar with and don’t expect any help or advancement opportunity..dead end job dead end business..no vaccine checks and no mandatory masks for unvaccinated makes it a HAZARD in these times..save yourself the headache !

Worked overnight at Brockton Rusty Lantern a couple of nights and there are a few employees that complain a lot. I don't know why but it is irritating to hear while trying to perform my duties. Day shifts are  very positive compared to overnight. 
You have to work but it isn't difficult and the pay is fair for what it is. Management is very easy going and if you're a good worker and punctual, you will get a reasonable raise.  Co-workers are the biggest problem for myself. I'm sure every store is different.
