Pros

The owners of DK are fantastic, genuinely caring, and have a clear vision for the company. When the company was smaller, it was a wonderful place to work, with a great atmosphere and opportunities for growth. There’s a lot of recognition from the outside, and it’s often seen as a "cool" company to work for, which can be a good stepping stone in your career. Solid benefits and 401k plan.

Cons

However, as the company has grown, the personal connection to employees has faded, and it can feel like you're just another number. Metrics are constantly shifting, adding an element of instability, and if you're not aligned with the company's "frat bro" culture, it’s hard to fit in. The office culture revolves heavily around drinking and partying, which can be alienating for some. HR is not very supportive, and turnover is high across multiple departments. An example of not feeling appreciated was when the Reign Makers department was shut down, and we were given their old swag as Christmas gifts—a slap in the face after all the hard work we put in. It’s difficult to build a long-term career here outside of your own department. Raises are rarely given, despite promises of performance-based increases, which can be incredibly frustrating.
