Haha very very true! :D
I worked for Rustan Commercial Corp before and pare parehas lang yan.
kung gusto mong magwork ng at least 12-15 hours a day at kung maka-work mo ba iyong bossing ng Rustan Commercial Corp eh hehhe ikaw na ang bahala pre. Rustan's is a family corporation so expect na maski pang bahay na tasks eh gagawin mo. Hehehe!
Actually kung mahaba ang pasensya mo at gusto mong mag-work sa isang napaka-challenging na company Rustan's is for you. :D
Ngayon isang taon na akong wala dyan sa company na yan. Masasabi kong marami akong natutunan hindi lang sa technical skills ko, pati mga soft skills nadevelop ko.
As for the benefits, ano bang benefits ang ineexpect mo? Eto benefits ko noong nasa RCC ako.
Pagisipan mong maigi kung papasok ka. Kung rank and file kang papasok maski supervisor pa yan, hehehe dami mong gagawin. Ako pumasok ako as a manager ang dami kong ginagawa as in madami. Tambak tambak at ginagawa ko din pati mga dirty jobs. Kaya pagisipan mo pre. With regards kasi sa pay hindi talaga sulit. Magiging sulit sya sa end pag lipat mo sa ibang company.
1.) the usual 13th month pay (hehee benefits ba ito?)
2.) meron akong regalo pag birthday ko from the marketing director.
3.) 10 percent discount sa Starbucks
4.) Tax shield.
5.) Sweldo ko nahahati sa tatlo. 7th (tax shield), 15 at 30.
Other benefits.
1.) magiging sobrang patient ka sa ibang tao
2.) matututo kang magprioritize ng gagawin mo kasi isang katerba talaga ang gagawin mo.
3.) matututo kang idevelop ang people skills mo kasi nga "family corporation" lahat pakikisamahan mo.

is rustan marketing corporation different from rustan commercial corporation? I notice we're talking about the "commercial" one here.

Jul 9, 2006, 08:53 PM
as I've said pare-parehas lang yan... di ko matandaan iyong sa Rustan Marketing Corp kung anong brands ang hawak nila pero pare parehas lang ang trato ng mga tao dyan. Sobrang work at underpaid at may chance ka pang ma bad mouth pag ang boss mo ay iyong apo ng may-ari na masama ang ugali, hindi pa professional karamihan ng mga tao at kasama na ang mga ibang may-ari.
iyong "commercial" ay hawak ang dept stores ng Rustan's. iyong marketing, certain stores/brands na hinahandle din ng Rustan's. Hindi ko maassociate ang Store Specialist (which is a Rustan company) sa Rustan Marketing dahil may own set of brands din sya.. di ko matandaan kung ano brands pero iyon nga pare parehas lang yan bee stung. kung ano experience sa kabila iyon din ang maeexperience mo dahil iisa lang ang mayari at iisa lang ang culture.
sa mga magaapply, pag mahina loob mo hindi para sa inyo ito. marami pang iba dyan.

Hindi sa sinisiraan ko ang mga Tantoco pero kawawa talaga mga empleyado nila. Hawak ko ang Rustan's Supermarket before at isa lang masasabi ko...... terms namin 30 days pero swerte na kami kung maka collect kami ng 60 days. May ibang suppliers pa na kung mag bayad sila ay over 120 days pa. Karamihan ng nag seserve sa kanila mga suppliers ay mga distributor nalang.
Oo nga pala ang Shopwise nila ay mas okey naman mag bayad kaysa sa Rustan's pero ok din sila humingi ng supports sa suppliers.
*okay*

@bee stung, ingat ka na lang. kasi may hindi ako gustong gawain ng mga yan. at yan ay mang ipit ng tao lalo na pagaalis na sa kanilang company. hindi naman ako inipit, pero ilang beses akong pinagmumura ng boss ko na apo ng may-ari. well di lang naman ako kaming lahat sa IT. anyway basta ingat lang..
btw, hindi ito paninira.. sinasabi ko lang ang katotohanan :D

dickie, competitor of rustans? parang alam ko yun ah! anyway, kasali ba ang STARBUCKS sa mga hindi OK? rustans coffee corporation yun di ba?

Jul 15, 2006, 10:25 PM
@bridesmaid, depende naman sa tao iyon talaga... sa akin lang ayaw ko ang trato ng mga may-ari sa tao nila.
iyong pagiging barat at matipid natural naman sa company iyon (di naman lahat ng company nilalahat ko).. pero lam nyo naman ibig kong sabihin diba? pero pag-iba na ang trato sa iyo eh ibang usapan na iyon.

if you work for rustans... imagine the connections... kung ayaw mo ng dirty work and going for extra mile... dont expect to be an executive your whole life...
froshie1
Jul 17, 2006, 12:42 AM
^lol, employee ka ba ng RCC? kung nagenjoy ka sa stay mo good for you. for me I don't enjoy working on a hostile environment.
dirty work and going the extra mile is another story. kung employee ka ng Rustan's, you will know my rank based on my benefits that I mentioned above.
sa mga apply: wag nyong sabihin na hindi kayo nabigyan ng warning..
here are some examples:
1.) karamihan sa mga staff ng RCC supervisor, technique ito para kung sakaling mainis ang mga tao ay hindi mapasukan ng union. (btw I'm not PRO-Union lalo na iyong mga Mayo uno)
2.) hindi kagandahan ang biz practice dito. (suppliers, tax etc...)
3.) karamihan sa mga may-ari nito hindi professional ang turing sa mga empleyado nya.
4.) eto ang kumpanyang nakita ko na may pinakamabilis na umalis ang isang tao.. gaano ka bilis? nakaka 6-7 hours pa lang sya sa company, bagong hire na manager.. nag resign na agad.
5.) pagtrato ng mga tao nya hindi din maganda. pagmumura, pagbabato ng mga bagay katulad ng keyboard, mouse, monitor at kung ano ano pa sa paligid, pagsusuntok ng pader, pagwawala isipin mo nandun iyon...
6.) gusto nyo bang magkaron ng boss na siguro sa isang buwan eh apat na beses ka nyang sasabihan na "kung di mo alam ang sagot ngayon, mag resign ka na!!!!!!" sabay mura. ayun meron yan dito.
7.) sa ibang dept naman, nangiipit ng tao lalo na kapag iyong tao ay magaling at lilipat ng ibang company.
8.) saan ka makakakita na director level na hanggang titulo lang, iyong director na iyon iba pang nationality? titulo lang na in the sense na hindi nakakapag desisyon. minumura ng may-ari at sinisigawan.
and the list goes on....

hmmn, sounds interesting and familiar to me ah! i used to work for a restaurant chain din na family business din. ganyang-ganyan ang sitwasyon. mga anak-anak nila ang may-ari at sobrang mga spoiled! kapag galit sa mga tao nila, nagbabato ng cellphone! di ba, mga rich talaga...cellphone ang binabato. and yes, yung work extended kahit beyond your responsibilities. i was asked (4x ata yun) to report to the office ng 6am para lang mag-encode ng songs for their prayer meeting! susme, and i was a branch manager ah! in fairness, masarap naman ang pinakain na breakfast sa kin. :)

another danger of working with these kinds of company is that the owners takes your life... They don't know the meaning of "hanap buhay", that you're just there to work and not be a total slave to them. BS ang mga yan! Whenever you suggest something most of the time they will take that against you at sasabihing mareklamo ka.. Hahahaha... Imagine, I'm requesting for an additional headcount with all the necessary justifications (stats/frequency ng workload na pinaghirapan ng maraming buwan) tapos ang sasalubong sa iyo mura.. WTF!!! Yan ang tinatawag na "professionalism" sa mga ganyang company. Enjoy mga applicants dito sa company na ito! :)

sinasabi ko lang ang naranasan ko at malamang 90% din ng mga nakasabayan ko eh ganun din ang sasabihin.. on the brighter side just read my 1st post - "other benefits".

If you want to go into business yourself though, a stint with the big retail group is a very good exposure. (specially if you are in the merchandising dept) you gain contacts and you'll know the tricks of the trade. But don't consider this a job for a lifetime, pang exposure lang talaga.

I worked for RMK or Rustan Marketing Corporation four years ago. I was a Brand Assistant for **** Group. Hehe, to protect my real identity.
RMK handles perfumes and Teflon - brands like Hugo Boss, Lacoste, Gucci, YSL (or wala na ata), Elizabeth Arden, etc.
Actually, with regard to benefits, di naman sila ganoon ka-barat. There's the usual car loan, discounts, plus you get first dibs on company sales.
Thing is, there's a 100K 3-year bond eventhough you won't be trained abroad. When I signed the bond, I thought I would be trained abroad or kahit man lang series of trainings here. But I got nada during my short stint. Yung kasabayan ko na hanggang ngayon andun pa rin, wala ring tranings. Sure, the BMs were sent abroad so the bond is acceptable but for us BAs (especially when the boss is NOT training you), I was a bit frustrated and disappointed.
Eto, they rarely hire male BAs / BMs. Kaya honestly, I never liked the environment. Sobrang clique-ish ng environment and sobrang catfight duon. Backfight dito, backfight doon. Kanyang-kanya talaga. Kaya I stayed there for 5 months lang. I didn't pay for my bond because of my unscrupulous boss (long story). :D
Positive naman, as mentioned I learned to be more patient. But honestly, if you want to experience hands-on brand management, think twice if you want to apply at RMK. Not because of the environment or benefits, it's because they're only an exclusive distributor. All marketing strategies, planning, etc should follow the principal's directive. Syempre, iba yung market sa France, Spain, etc. so yung iba, hindi applicable dito kaya bumababa yung sales ng RMK tuloy.

Jul 26, 2008, 10:48 PM
^this is so true nagbibigay na sila ng bond for all BAs and BMs which is pathetic! I was also working with a sister company naman of RMK I will not mention na lang... but you know as if gaganda ang company nila if people will stay for long or may ininvest sila sa employee like trainings, trips and all it's just the privilege of an employee for working/servicing their company.

hehehe, RMK ba ikamo, well buhay pa ba ang HR Manager nito walang kasing baho ang bunganga sa pangaalipusta sa mga empleyado nito? hay. nakarma sila dahil nung mag resign ako, kumuha kagad ng kapalit at ipinagmalaking mas magaling sa akin, ayun wala pang 2 buwan sangkaterbang reklamo na ang inabot at an taas ng turnover dahil demotivated ang mga nahihire na casuals. anong posisyon ko? wag na kasi makikilala kagad ako. hehe... basta i love training...
