Pros

There are no pros from myself or any other coworker past or present that I've spoken with. I hear more recommendations to not work with Rushing by myself and others than I do otherwise.

Kontras

These items are factual and based on my experiences and observing others being subjected to the same. Long hours. Daily last minute deadlines. No employee gets recognition for doing an amazing job. Unacceptable amounts of work dropped at your desk at end of day demanding you to stay late. After repetitive regular 12 hour shifts I said to my manger I have to go home and I was told no I’m not allowed to until my works done. I was not getting paid overtime and I said this isn’t fair. He told me this is work it doesn’t have to be fair. I ended up keeping a journal of events because they were so abnormal and unhealthy working conditions. Eventually the department of labor was called and found that they were not allowed to work their staff as they were while not being fairly compensated. They gave Rushing 2 options either pay time and a half or pay using an equation. They chose to use the equation where the more they work you the less you make. You can actually earn less than minimum wage and this was a complaint by the staff that was met with a response by HR saying this is how things are and if you don’t like it you don’t have to work here. They were told to back pay the past 2 years to staff who were not compensated and I did the math and after deducting 33% taxes I should have walked away with $17,500 in overtime that I rightfully earned and was not paid. But with this equation I only was given $2,000. Owners are ex-spouses and they bring their drama into the office of frequent yelling/cursing/slamming doors. Frequent threatening to staff members and entire teams at once that they will lose their jobs if they mess up one more time and belittling staff in front of office. I witnessed owner screaming and cursing in front of a newborn baby while in a meeting and I was surprised the coworker mother remained in the same room during the freak-out. I witnessed owner go into other owners office and slide arm across desk throwing everything onto the floor, turn and slam cabinets then slammed the glass door while leaving the office. I’ve witnessed slamming of fists and books on desks by owner towards other staff members. My wife was given news of cancer and I was given manager approval to miss 1 day a week to take for chemo treatments. That was unacceptable by the owners. I was pulled aside by owner and HR and told they do not care what personal items I have to go through there is nothing that should interfere with me going being at work. Even though I was still working over 40 hours a week while missing that 1 day. There is a constant revolving door for all departments. I would not recommend anyone work here due to the mental abuse you have to endure and how much of a negative life change you must accept. They say yes to every project causing an abundant strain on the staff stretching them to the max. Keep checking glassdoor because other employees are expected to post their experiences as well. My post is written from purely factual events and conversations that must be known. Since my employment the revolving door continues with around a dozen more leaving in a matter of months. These items I have listed are only the start of what conditions you can expect while working at Rushing.

Pros

This is a small but mighty company that sincerely tries to practice what it preaches. I’d say they hit that goal 8/10 times and strive for better - always. Great people, benefits, pay, all the things. Can’t speak for everyone but I’d say most studios have complete flexibility in their schedules as long as they get their work done and communicate with teams.

Kontras

You’re going to get burnt out - it’s just a matter of time. Severe lack of ownership and accountability for work across too many studios. No dogs except the owners dogs in office. Not a place to build a career if you’re already at a Senior or established role. They’re already too top heavy as it is. Typical story - untrained or frankly just bad management and it trickles down.

Pros

There are two reasons for my review: bunch of negative reviews that mostly reflect personal vendetta and recent shiny reviews that may be overstating the reality. The truth is in between, but more on a positive note. These negative comments are obviously folks that are bitter about something, and it’s sad that mostly bitter people take time to write online reviews in general. People that see positives usually don’t bother writing. Frankly, if you’re a hard worker this place is good for you. If you’re looking for a free ride, I can see you writing a bitter review in a year or two. Yes, we work long hours, but if you’re in the industry you know that everyone works long hours nowadays because Seattle market is HOT and projects are popping left and right! I have friends in other companies that average about the same hours as I do, and I work more than most people at Rushing. Pay is also fair, benefits decent, and a few extra perks help.

Kontras

Long hours and mediocre staffing history. Some good people were let go or left on their own without being properly replaced. Some others were hired without clear picture of their abilities which leads to high turnover.
