Wages are lower than industry standard. Raises are also very unlikely unless you raise hell, even then you should only expect 3% - 5% maximum. There are people that have worked here for 10+ years and have never been given a raise. That’s fine if you are in the late stages of your career and looking to retire soon, but if you’re in the early to mid stages, you’ll have to leave the company to get a pay bump. Never understood why a company would rather lose talent than give them a pay increase. Then hire a random person off the street for the same amount it would’ve cost to give the former employee a raise. Blows my mind, but DXP is not the only company to do this unfortunately.
Benefits are not great. Vacation time starts off at 2 weeks and increases very slowly. Insurance is the most expensive out of any company I’ve ever worked for. I don’t utilize it much, so I can’t speak for the actual coverage, but they take a huge chunk of my paycheck for it and I have the cheapest plan.
Most employees are over-worked and under-paid. As the company grows and acquires more businesses, your responsibilities also grow. Unfortunately, your pay does not. A 40 hour work week does not exist here; expect to spend at least 50 hrs at work, minimum.
