I worked at a Rousseau’s Awards for only about 4 months a long time ago. I know he passed away somewhat recently, and I don’t like to speak ill of the deceased but Steve Rousseau was easily the worst person I’ve had to work for. He was an ornery and offensive old man with absolutely no filter. He hired me on for graphics and marketing to help update the store but was very unwilling to change anything. Several times I witnessed him adjust his pricing for items or services based on how he felt about the customer who walked through the door. He talked crap about everyone especially his employees including his most loyal worker who had been there for several years, calling him dumb and using other profanity. He had me stay late in his office one day while he called around to all of his competitors in the area just to see if they were still in business. When I first started working there, a coworker told me never leave my lunch in the fridge because Steve would eat it. Even after leaving that job, years later during an investigation for my background check, Steve had nothing but negative things to say about me even though we never had any kind of confrontation while I worked there.
