Pros

Great people to work with Leed environmental building Cafe a bit expensive, but nice if you forget to bring lunch After work sports teams Great company parties Casual dress code

Cons

Communication is horrible at every level Arrogant management style Reviews if you get one do not relate to your work Promotions based on good looks, youth, buddy system and rarely on performance Departments do not work together Transparency is non existent Gate keepers in getting things fixed Pay plans change like the wind

Pros

Comprehensive benefits package and life/work balance. Informal work environment and fairly flexible hours. Good people overall. Good atmosphere in the building. Most vacation and PTO requests are granted quickly, even if submitted with little advance notice. Laid back Vermont lifestyle.

Cons

Salaries low, and they really low-ball you to get you in the door, so any raises are not getting you anywhere near what you could make elsewhere. Chaotic changes among departments because company is growing so fast.

Pros

great benefits (gym, organic cafe, wellness classes, ski-resort seasons pass discounts, etc.); decent salary; lots of smart, competent, friendly people to work with. sometimes you'll get a fun project to work on.

Cons

espoused "work-life balance" is a joke: even though wellness classes are offered and the gym is easily accessible, you'll rarely have time to make use of any of these resources due to your workload. in Development, 50-60 hour weeks are commonplace. further, since the company has grown so fast in such a short period of time, management has had to grow the bureaucratic layers of management as well, but it's all been rushed and in my opinion it hasn't gone very well. for example, middle-management has been talking for more than a year now about creating "road maps" for people to follow for career paths at Dealer, but these have yet to materialize. - also: I witnessed numerous occurrences (5 to be precise) of extremely poor communication between supervisors and those who worked under them, myself included. people I knew who by all accounts of those who knew them would get fired for seemingly insignificant things that reportedly were never raised during performance reviews. moral of the story here is that you can't trust performance reviews to mean anything at Dealer.com (if you should ever get one - in my 3+ years there, I never had a single one). fair warning.
