Pros

Unfortunately, I cannot find any positive aspects of working for DaBella.

Cons

1. Unprofessional and Unethical Behavior: The company employs questionable tactics to lure job seekers, making grand promises that are nowhere near the reality of working for them. On day one, it becomes evident that these assurances are just a façade, and red flags are abundant. 2. Manipulative Tactics: DeBella employs manipulative techniques reminiscent of aggressive "sales and marketing" and multi-level marketing companies. Trainees are subjected to a goal-setting exercise, implying that success in life is only attainable through the company. Failure to meet expectations is attributed to a lack of desire or ambition. 3. Exploitative Trainer: The new-hire trainer, a 20-year-old success story, sets unrealistic expectations by glorifying their extreme work conditions. Working seven days a week, skipping breaks and lunches, the trainer's relentless pursuit of money becomes the primary focus, akin to a real-life Mr. Krabs. 4. Forced Overtime: The company not only encourages but mandates overtime, pushing employees to work seven days a week. This disregard for work-life balance is reflected in the employee handbook, fostering an unhealthy and unsustainable work environment. 5. Dubious CEO Track Record: CEO Donnie McMillan Jr. has a concerning history, with multiple renovation companies facing legal issues or reputational damage leading to shutdowns and rebranding. This pattern raises questions about the company's stability and ethical practices. 6. Negative Online Reputation: Numerous online reports detail instances of scams, coercion, and questionable tactics employed by DeBella's workers. Homeowners report feeling pressured, and the company's credibility is called into question. Potential job seekers, beware and thoroughly research before considering DaBella as your employer.

Pros

In spite of some management hurdles, my co-workers were a fantastic team to be a part of.

Cons

I was hired as a Team Leader because I had a good track record of sales. However, I quickly realized that this is not a company that values its employees or its customers. The CEO is only interested in one thing: sales. The workplace is also filthy. The offices are not clean, and the bathrooms are even worse. I never felt comfortable eating or drinking anything at work because I was afraid of getting sick. The pressure to make sales is also persistent. Team Leaders are constantly being pushed to meet ambitious sales targets. This can create a very stressful and unhealthy work environment.
