Toxic corporate culture

Pros

Health benefits aren’t bad compared to other companies. Unlimited sick pay, which is a huge thing for some. Plenty of opportunity for travel if your a road warrior. Somewhat close to cost of living annual raises.

Cons

Upper management does not care about anyone who isn’t a director or above. It’s all about their self preservation so they can get promoted. High turnover rates at the plants caused by a corporate culture who ignores the people who make the company run well. Communication is poor because your only avenue are voicemails that aren’t returned, tickets that are ignored, and email addresses that go unanswered. The culture of ignoring people is toxic and showed no signs of slowing down. But remember, as long as your time card showed 40 hours somehow, you were perceived as doing your job.

Pros

The employees i worked with.

Cons

Management in the plant not employee friendly.Their investigations on the supervisors were already decided by the HR to be guilty and didn't really listen or want to hear what you have to say.Most of the complaints from the employees were coerced amongst themselves and had the same stories.These are the employees that wanted to do what they want to do with no backing from the upper management.The manager could talk to his supervisors anyway he felt with no repercussions.Mistakes happen and machines break down but there was no understanding.Dart has guidelines on how to treat employees but at times those aren't followed by the upper management.When all the upper management at the plant were the good ole boy terms.Beware working there the pay isn't the greatest.Big turnover rate people just don't want to work anymore they want the paycheck but don't want to do anything for it.Even worse when you bring the temp agencies in to full fill the shortages.The health benefits were not the greatest.

Pros

-The Mason campus is quite nice, including lots of outdoor paths, a nice cafeteria, and a great gym.

Cons

-Very high turnover, especially in the Marketing Management department. The company prides itself on the long tenure of its employees, but most of are plant workers. Over two thirds of the department had been then for less than a year, and the cycle of turnover showed no signs of slowing. -Time Off: Due to the way in which work is distributed, Analysts develop specialized knowledge on their accounts, which means that they cannot cover for eachother. This makes taking time off very difficult. If you get your time off request approved (emphasis on "if"), you will still have to make up the hours because work has accumulated while you were out. Overall time off allocation is average to low. -Work/Life Balance: The workload is regularly overwhelming, and deadlines can change at a moment's notice if a customer makes a request. In addition to the volume of work, you are held to a 90% accuracy standard. Workbooks used often contain hundreds of calculations. If a single cell contains an error, no matter how insignificant, it goes against your accuracy standing. Many of these workbooks are inherited from previous analysts due to the high turnover. If the previous analyst made an error, it still goes against you. I'm all for personal accountability, but it can be paralyzing. Due to the high workload and premium on accuracy, expect to work long hours with very few breaks (even if they tell you anything to the contrary in the interview). Most analysts work least 50-60 hours a week, which makes the low salary levels even worse. -Low Morale: Almost everyone is constantly stressed. Your manager will be constantly stressed too. It wasn't unheard of for people to be crying at their desks.
