Sorry to hear this is how you feel about your 8 years at Disc Makers. We work very hard to provide a great product and service to our clients, and a great work environment (and enlightened leadership) for our team members. We're proud of what we do, and we're sure not leaving... Tony van Veen - CEO

Pros

People are nice, dress is business casual. Inservice training on the sales process is good if you're new at sales.

Cons

Not much promotion opportunities because everyone likes their job and stays put. Top-down decision making.

People do indeed enjoy it here, and so turnover is low. However, we have a solid - and improving - track record on staff promotions and transfers to other departments, and it's something we're veryconscious of that we need to do even better on. Thanks for your feedback. Tony van Veen - CEO

Pros

The people who work at Disc Makers are musicians or have a strong interest in music. This creates a social workplace that is mostly fun and energetic. Many appear to care about their job and the success of the business.

Cons

CD sales have had a big impact on the business. Several large layoffs over the last few years have had a heavy impact on moral. Management does not appear to recognize this and is not doing anything about it.

Thanks for the feedback. In the 5 years since the start of the 2008 recession we were faced with the same economic crisis that most other companies were, and we -- like many companies -- went through several very difficult staff reductions. However, those days are behind us. We are very well aware of the morale impact that a layoff creates, and work very hard to not have to do this. Our first responsibility as a management team is to the people who work at Disc Makers, and we strive to provide stimulating employment opportunities for everyone here for the long run. And sometimes, in the short term, that may mean that difficult decisions need to be made. Fortunately, lots of artists, filmmakers, and companies still need and use discs, and we are one of the largest, and the most stable provider in the industry. We intend to keep it that way.
