Pros

A small handful of people that work there are some of the nicest people I've ever worked with.

Cons

Everything else, but I'll try to be more constructive: -Insultingly low pay: Base salary is well below industry standard and management will act indignant if you ask for anything more, even after they add more and more responsibilities to your role. "Bonuses" are discussed, but since employee turnover is so high, chances are you will be gone long before they ever have to make good on that particular promise. -Horrible upper management: The CEO is absolutely allergic to good ideas and seems to actively want the business to fail. Feedback is not listened to and any ideas for betterment are met with rejection, including long-term WFH and 401(K). There is an overall culture of disregarding employee health, it seems. To wit, most eComm businesses made the switch to remote work early into the pandemic and stayed there. DII gave employees maybe two months before they were forced back into the office while Covid was still surging. Any attempts at asking for remote work were quickly turned down (despite management working from home whenever they felt like it). Covid itself was continually scoffed at and tone-deaf communication from management belittled and ignored employee concerns. Employee health and safety is simply not a priority at DII. Poor employee treatment: -If it wasn't made abundantly clear by now, treatment of their employees ranks at the bottom of this company's priority list. The best example I can provide is that this company doesn't even have an HR department. Yes, you read that right. While grievances pile up, there's no actual official way to bring any of your problems to anyone who can do anything about it. Your only option is to talk to an immediate supervisor, but since they report to upper management who have already proven themselves not to care about much other than their own bottom line, this option proves completely fruitless. There's no accountability anywhere and it shows in how they treat their employees. I could keep going but I will stop there. Long story short, this company is not worth your time and you would be treated better almost anywhere else.

Health benefits Company lunches Holiday parties

Cons

• High expectations paired with very low compensation • No 401k until after your first full year of employment • Constant budget cuts • Lack of professionalism across leadership • Rampant favoritism • Lack of consistency — expectations and priorities change regularly without clear communication • Little to no support from management • Required to be in the office four days a week • Poor office hygiene — bathrooms often dirty and poorly maintained One of the biggest issues during my time here was management behavior. I worked under a manager who was openly rude and condescending, made inappropriate jokes, and gossiped negatively about both coworkers and people outside of work. She once made an offhand, offensive comment about an IT team member being on the spectrum. Despite claiming she wanted the office to feel “inclusive and fun,” her behavior routinely made people uncomfortable — something she even admitted to jokingly. Unfortunately, there’s no formal HR department to escalate concerns to, so accountability is essentially nonexistent.
