Pros

The pros of this company is limited. The pros of DZ is that it is a big corporation so its a plus to have it on your resume, and how DZ is kinda well known in its business.

Cons

Where so I start? 1. there is so much gossip in the company it is insane. Are we still in high school? Grown men and women gossiping through out the day, doesn't look good for the "family culture" part. 2. there is a hierarchy within each department, and company as a whole. Some people are allow to do anything they want, while others can't or would get in trouble for. 3. the employees don't know what their doing. Technology use is old/outdated, and only a few employees know how to use SAP, Sharepoint, Excel etc. That is just sad, the younger workforce is leaving within a year of employment because its so slow within DZ and nothing is changing. current employees hate change in the company, everyone is against it. thats one reason why engagement, and morale is low. 4. compensation is below what competitors are paying. no bonus, benefits aren't good, and nothing to really stay at DZ for career wise.

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.
