Great Place to Work - Founder & CEO Charlie Hustle Employee Review

- Fun brand with a loyal customer base and great coworkers. - Opportunity to work on a variety of projects and gain experience in a fast-paced environment.

- The company changed significantly after being acquired about a year ago by Outdoor Custom Sportswear. The culture and leadership declined, with poor communication and little support for employees. - Benefits are below market: no work-from-home flexibility, no paid paternity leave, only two weeks of paid maternity leave before transitioning to short-term disability at partial pay, and a six-year 401(k) vesting schedule. -If you're considering a role, it's worth reading reviews of Outdoor Custom Sportswear to better understand others' experiences with the current leadership and work environment.

Free product, We made t-shirts, and there were some really great people there. It was a small company which made it feel like I was helping to build something.

Leadership was problematic and it was always chaotic. The company is fairly established, but it never felt like they had things figured out. This resulted in a lot of reactive decision making and a volatile work environment. I endured a lot during my tenure, always hoping it'd get better, but it never really did. Many of us felt undervalued and overstretched. That was solidified after they laid several people off in order to sell the company. The CEO was hardly there except to seemingly blow things up and make people uncomfortable.
