- They've exhausted the hiring pool in some places and have such a bad reputation as employers that the only people who work there are the desperate, those with no other option, or those who simply don't care.
- The pay disparity and penny-pinching is disgusting. If employees knew the distance between management, directors and front-line staff, they'd riot.
- Pointless initiatives that make some director or someone at corporate look good, but are forgotten about 3 - 6 months later. But lead to chaos and confusion for front-line staff since no one ever knows what is important since EVERYTHING is important.
- No job security. And this goes both ways. You could be let go for any reason, really. But more than likely you'll be like the tens of thousands of other employees and realize how awful any aspect of Delaware North is, and how demanding it is, for the bare-bone minimum wage they pay, because you know that means they'd pay you less if they could, and run away... screaming.
Side note: I wasn't kidding about them exhausting the talent pool in areas. They are scraping the bottom of the barrel when hiring, and when I hear the VPs and c-suite talking about attracting workers Vs. retention, it's just completely ignoring the problem.
And what is the problem? This company is terrible to work for and offers almost no pay, no future and no hope.
