Pros

Learned valuable skills and had some amazing managers.

Cons

This is hard for me to leave such a low review but I feel like I have to. I started with DT almost 9 years ago. It felt so different and unique for a company and a car company at that. The culture was amazing and it was fun to go to work. Over the years I was promoted and the growth made sense and was fair. Something terrible happened I would say 3 or 4 years ago. It shifted from a great place to a nightmare. As a manger you are required to work all day with very little support. You are expected to make your employees work as hard as they can, going 110% all day every day. Who cares if they are tired? It was never enough. My assistant director led us my fear. Constantly making employees question there reason for being there and making people cry in front of new hires. They did not protect us during the pandemic. They did and still do not care. We got yelled at for not pushing the optional crap harder during the pandemic. It’s an EVIL company and I would avoid working here at all costs. People are promoted by who they know. No matter how many employees complain about that manager.

While we of course wish the comments were much different, we respect your perspective and appreciate the feedback. 9 years is certainly an incredible run, and we’re glad to see you find personal success with the training and career pathing available to all of our Retail team members. In an effort to serve our customers we do work hard; but fear, crying and evil are not words we ever want our company culture to be associated with, and these are claims we take very seriously. We hope you spoke up and shared these concerns with our Talent Support Team prior to your departure, as we want all employees – be it entry level or executive – to have a voice and be heard. We will also be looking into the situation to learn more.

Pros

Break room Covered work area good lighting

Cons

Deceptive Company policy that is hard to access (Need to create a case with HR to review policies that are not easily located). Management over work with little notice for demand of Overtime. Management Typically uses google search to base their decisions instead of consulting their diagnostic team. Over demand of core job responsibilities ( Doing more than what you agreed to do upon hire). If Something was missed or not performed a certain way management will stop your production to show what you did wrong with the expectation that you will still hit production targets. Management also tends to talk down instead of a coaching approach. If you happen to go above and beyond (which is hard to do) little rewards come your way ( Things that wont come). Typical work shifts consists of maintaining a pace that is hard to achieve to always hit targets even if several roadblocks are in the way that you cant avoid. Overall working here I found it difficult to effectively communicate with management or other co-workers. * Working here I have personally experienced Sexual harassment and sexual assault, I have informed management and have heard no update on that topic other than "talked to said employee". Then Said Employee's behavior changed and found it extremely difficult to perform duties.
