- Company´s income is growing about 15% a year for last 20 years, but once you are in company, salaries are definitely lacking behind.
- Company strongly orients on profits for shareholders, salaries are currently frozen, but there are always money to buy another companies (Descartes shares/value grows via internally improving its efficiency and value of its products, and buy buying smaller companies in the industry).
- Very few benefits for corporate of this size, in Zilina, even small companies with 10-15 people have have comparable benefits (Descartes has here over 200 people, globaly 2500+).
- Benefits like: paid leave?!?! - that is mandatory by law in Slovakia, that is not benefit!! Notebook for every employee - if I am not contractor (self employed) but regular employee (99% of people here) - that is also mandatory - it is working tool for me, they have to provide it!!
- CEO will say any nonsence to keep shareholders locked in - like 'tariffs are good for us, it always strenghten us and we profit from it'. Yeah, right. In the very same week, he ordered saving 7% on salaries through layoffs.
- Carrier growth only if you invest 5-7+ years into company, otherwise you are stuck at your position.
