Used to be much better . Ran as far from Edward Don as you can!
Pros
The newer office location in Woodridge is convenient for many but not all. Don used to be in North Riverside, which was more convenient for many of us.
Cons
Benefits at Don are horrible. Personal&sick time. 5 days no rollover. 2 less than average. Holidays. 1 less than most others. Vacation. 2 weeks up to 4 depending on years with company no rollover. Employees who have been with the company a few decades are on the old plan which gives 2 additional weeks. 401k is the ultimate insult. They were so proud to announce in 2012 that they would contribute up to $750 a year from the $500 they had been. What a joke, that's less than 2% on a 38K salary, less if your fortunate to make more. They even charge you separately for vision care, short term disability and like. Training or personal development? If you want these you're to forward thinking for Don. The personal experience varies from mildly depressing to god awful. Warehouse is they only decent area because many have common sense and its union with some better benefits. Customer service is worse than being dead period. Sales is a hit or miss depending on things. Management promises sales trainees a promotional path they won't keep. Like if you do good enough you'll be promoted from trainee in 6 months. Only way it actually happens is when another sales person eventually quits or is fired and your stupid enough to still be there. They expect most to leave and play them until they get fed up and leave. Depression is the rule at Don. It gets worse each year. At Don your not an asset your an associate.
