Pros

They are investing in opportunities like book manufacturing and online music distribution.

Cons

The flagship product, Compact discs, is an obsolete medium and sales are dropping rapidly.

Thanks for the review. Indeed our main product is a mature technology. That's EXACTLY why we're investing in growing other products, including eBook distribution, book printing, and band merch, all of which are seeing rapid growth. We're also continuing to invest in training our staff to provide internal growth opportunities. Plus, while CDs and DVDs are mature, there are still plenty of people who still need (and want) them. And I want us to be the best place in the world where they can get them. Tony van Veen, CEO

Yes, despite selling a mature product, we work hard at providing a stimulating, forward-thinking environment where smart, ambitious people can thrive. And we put them to work wherever we see opportunities to offer more value to musicians, authors, and filmmakers... Tony van Veen, CEO

Pros

Back to Disc Makers! I couldn't be more proud to return to Disc Makers. After leaving for 6 years to be at home for my adopted daughter I wanted to work with my hands and found a perfect fit in the CD plant, screen printing discs. I sold this product for nine years during my previous run with DM and now I'm getting a whole new appreciation for the technology, infrastructure and effort behind all these clients' hard work. And that's coming from someone who discussed the processes literally thousands of times with independent artists and corporate clients alike. Now I am actually part of the manufacture, and can see and feel the efforts to focus on total quality from the efficient and thoughtful workspaces to the unsurpassed skill and integrity of the people working right next to me in the CD plant. I chose to work third shift(yes they are still making CDs and DVDs around the clock!) because, as an artist, I'm finding it invaluable to use my time off to create and staying up late to perform on the weekends won't be an issue, I can stay up all night! There are so many talented professionals here, and not just the Sound Lab, Authoring House and Design Studio but also the sales and marketing teams. (Shout out to the engineering dept., HR, and all the other unsung heroes who keep the lights on and the production flowing) I had a hunch it would be a good fit for me but I didn't feel the pride and fulfillment until I got here. I work for an American manufacturer servicing audio/video professionals and self-publishers around the world and I could not be more proud. Jim McGrath CD Printer

Cons

I must say there are a lot of carbohydrates in the FREE bagels they provide EVERYDAY. No carbs in the free coffee though.
