Pros
DSC is a very flat organization, providing lots of opportunities to work on visible projects. Process improvements are approached with a collaborative 'all hands on deck' mentality. It is not unusual for the CEO or SVPs to go out on a Distribution Center floor to speak directly with associates. Employees that are interested in expanding their skill sets have opportunities to do so given the variety of projects available. New ideas, new technology, and innovation are always welcome. Several of mine were implemented after management review.
Cons
Because the business is constantly 'on call' for our clients, the work flow may not always be evenly paced. Some work weeks are standard, others involve evenings and weekends, particularly during a start-up. Within the past year or so, several well-liked executives retired, however, the new leadership team has hit the ground running and is truly engaged.
