Pros

Offers compensation in line with other companies. If you are blood related to someone on the management team then you're golden.

Cons

I was a female victim of sexually harassment at CDI perpetrated by a male coworker. I reported the harassment to my management and nothing was done. The perpetrator is in sales and only received a verbal warning - a slap on the wrist. The worst part of the experience was the female CEO knew all of this was happening. She does not stand up for womankind and only cares about money. The COO conspired with the CEO to terminate me because I was "trouble". Well I found out the COO and another female coworker are fooling around behind closed office doors - hypocrits all of them. good luck working at this company

We cannot comment publicly on specific personnel issues. However, Inappropriate behavior is never tolerated and we take any charges by our employees very seriously. Sexual harassment is unacceptable and this is evident to all of our employees through our our anti-harassment policy and training. Any complaints as such would be taken seriously and perpetrators disciplined appropriately.

Pros

Great internal culture, open management style is best I've seen, they listen to needs and try to change processes and remove barriers, Downtown Chicago office is great place to work if you like being around your team. Flexible work schedule sees to work well.

Cons

Company growing fast and resources sometimes tight, but they're hiring as fast as they can. Unlimited vacation works well if you use when management wants you to. More than half of business tied to one manufacturer.
