Pros

If you are early in your career, you will learn everything you need to know about how NOT to operate a business and what to look out for in a boss.

Cons

DI is a 26 year old AV company that became a complete dinosaur due to a hard-headed owner, stuck in his ways, who refuses to listen to anyone around him. They are an old school AV company trying to make customers believe they have capabilities they don’t such as media production, video walls, security, telecom etc. Unfortunately, they only have one employee who has more than 3 years of real technology experience. This is because they only hire young college kids who learn a little bit, then realize what a train wreck DI is and move on. If they on-occasion hire a skilled veteran, they promise them the world, get them to agree to come abord at a fraction of their worth, work them 90 hours a week, treat them like crap, absolutely never give them a raise or come through on “promises” and they all leave within a year. The even bigger issue is the neurotic owners who spends 8 hours a day telling everyone how smart he is and how dumb they are, verbally and physically attacking anyone who has an opinion, questions or disagrees with him. It is insane to watch his anticks! He has gone through 5 administrative assistants in 4 years due to this. If you don’t get out alive before he fires you, he will lie to the State and see that you are denied unemployment. (No one has been successful in overcoming this to the best of my knowledge) One attritional note: Any positive DI reviews that you will find on Glass Door are from DI ownership, management and the owner’s family. The owner repeatedly threatens his robot managers to post positive reviews to counter the real ones and will fire them if they refuse. It is insane!

Pros

Lots of learning experiences Lots of room for growth Teaches you the industry

Cons

Upper management, have seen employees threaten to get sued by the owner for trying to quit Increase in responsibility does not mean increase in pay Extremely toxic work environment, get told you aren't a good worker if you don't arrive early and leave late, but you don't get paid extra. No reimbursement for driving hours to job sites every day, lots of cost in gas and car upkeep that you will need to cover out of pocket
