Interesting opportunity run by young souls - Anonymous employee Rumpl Employee Review

Transparent culture where everyone is encouraged to speak up, contribute, and take ownership where they want to grow. 4 times a year the entire company convenes and discusses strategy, sets goals, and has fun outside of the office. If you vibe with the culture, this is a fantastic place to be. Clearly, if you're reading all Glassdoor reviews, there are former employees who simply didn't fit in with the culture. Unfortunately, they tend to be the loudest on Glassdoor. If you are reading this, trust me, these are problematic employees at any company, not just Rumpl.

Consumer goods are hard businesses. Rumpl is a well respected, quality brand, but also remains subject to macro trends and consumer sentiment (both psotive and negative). When the economy or the outdoor industry isn't booming, brands like Rumpl feel that.

Unlimited PTO and my team had a lot of kind folks.

The three biggest details that will keep Rumpl from being successful are that they: 1. Repeat the same mistakes without learning from them. A few examples of this is that they say they are going to keep their product full price other than 2 times a year. If you go to their “The Vault” collection, you will see that they couldn’t uphold this. Everyone has blankets. They can wait until Rumpl puts theirs on sale again to buy a new one. And just putting new colors and prints on blankets will not sustain a company (or towels, mats, and pillows) 2. The company structure. A few years back, all of the VPs left because Rumpl couldn’t afford them. Well, they have VPs again. I don’t think a ~20 person company needs VPs. 3. I saw this happen a couple times during my time there with a few positions. It seems like Rumpl couldn’t decide between an agency or in-house employee. They switch to an agency until they can’t afford them anymore. Then they hire someone in-house. Then they decide that person isn’t performing or that person quits from burnout and they are back to an agency. Don’t continue to repeat the same mistakes, Rumpl. Continue to learn and evolve. And drop the ego.
