Pros
Dickson is a 9-5 job, which allowed me to continue my schooling by being flexible with my schedule. As a new college graduate, Dickson allowed me to build my resume and experience in multiple facets. While being a small company, Dickson proved to be relatively drama-free and goal-focused. During my time at Dickson, we had ‘Friday Jeans Days.’ Dickson also offered summertime cookouts, occasional company outings, quarterly meetings, and quarterly bonuses. Overall, I had a good experience at Dickson.
Cons
There was no formal training or mentor-ship program. While being goal-focused, there was typically a lack of a plan to achieve that set goal. Being a small company, sometimes things turned into the ‘he-said, she-said’ game. Despite hard work and dedication, it is very hard to move up the ranks at Dickson, given its small-business nature and existing management.
