Pros

2-3 events a year where employees can let their guard down for a moment and actually smile and interact with each other

Cons

-Executive leadership threatened the entire HR department that the microwave would be taken away because it was not being cleaned after use (if the Executive leadership acts like this, there's no surprise the rest of the culture is so toxic) -sexist male managers that treat women like inferiors, when reported to HR, they take the managers side even though multiple women have the same complaints about the same individuals -employees in the field have no trust in HR because of how HR treats them - displays of favoritism for certain employees that come from VPs and even SVPs -petty and childish behavior from VP's when they don't get their way

Day & Zimmermann Response
8y
Day & Zimmermann takes seriously every concern raised by employees regarding harassment and appropriate behavior in the workplace. In addition to the HR department, employees have access to local, on-site ethics officers, as well as an anonymous hot-line where they can raise concerns. No matter which avenue employees choose, their concerns are promptly investigated and appropriately addressed. Diversity is one of our core values, and our leaders and the HR team work hard to ensure an inclusive workplace where everyone can do their best work. This characterization of the work environment at Day & Zimmermann is very different from how most people would describe us. Our recent company employee engagement survey indicates that our people value the teamwork and cooperation they experience at D&Z, and cite the safe and respectful work environment we’ve created as a positive aspect of working here. We have high but reasonable expectations for our people and look to them to hold themselves and each other to high standards. Good performers with that sense of personal accountability will always thrive and grow at Day & Zimmermann.

Pros

Day & Zimmermann is a company where people can build long-term, meaningful careers. As a family owned business with more than a century of history, there is a level of stability, purpose, and long-term thinking that is not easy to find in today’s job market. What stands out most to me is the company’s investment in its people. Day & Zimmermann has one of the strongest organizational training and development programs I have seen. The in house Learning & Development team is outstanding, and the company continues to invest in resources that help employees grow, lead, and succeed. There is also a real sense of pride in the work. Across the organization, employees support critical industries, customers, and missions, and that creates a strong connection to purpose. The people here care about doing good work, supporting one another, and representing the company well. For those considering Day & Zimmermann, I would say this is a place where you can find stability, opportunity, development, and a company that genuinely cares about its employees. If you are looking for an organization where you can contribute, grow, and be part of something with a strong foundation, Day & Zimmermann is worth serious consideration.

Cons

Like many established companies, there are areas where processes, systems, and tools can continue to evolve. The company is complex, and experiences can vary by business unit, location, and team but I really don't have a bunch of cons to list, I love it here.
