Pros
Happiness depends on your manager. Occasional free food (pizza or bagels usually brought in by vendors sometimes by management on special occasions) Free keurig machine with k cups and tea in kitchen. Possibility of going temp to perm. Pay can be decent dependent on role and business of role.
Cons
This review is specifically for DMG at Diversified on Colfax Ave. Extremely high employee turnover. Constant firings. They hire mostly temps in the beginning so employees get fired with no warning. Nepotism runs wild, don’t expect to get promoted unless you have an in. Half the managers and people that got promoted were related or had connections to upper management. One girl was the past babysitter of a higher up and she got promoted to manager. Management is incredibly racist and political. If management decides they don’t like you, there’s nothing you can do to fix it. They act one way to your face and another way to your back. They don’t care about you as a person, only your work. No real HR department so it’s nearly impossible to complain or have anything done. There’s no phone number listed for HR. You can submit an online request and hope a representative sees it and emails you back but don’t expect follow up or real concern. Huge discrepancies in pay. Temporary newly hired employees making as much as permanent staff. If someone lasts over a year or two, it’s a miracle. Benefits are from Diversified corporate - terrible. 15 PTO days a year. No sick time (yes that’s illegal in NJ but they consider vacation and sick as part of the PTO bucket). Insurance very expensive with terrible coverage. No additional perks. Terrible parking. Tiny parking lot in a residential permit parking area. If you get there after 9, be prepared to look for street parking 2-3 blocks away. Departments work in different buildings spread out within 10-15 minutes of eachother. Employees are required to log every minute of their day. Many employees cheat and log much more than actually worked. Every minute must be accounted for.
