At-will employment. I was employed with DT for four years. In May '16, I received my 6th promotion with the company #woohoo only to find out that it did not come with a pay raise. After a closed door meeting with an assistant director to discuss my displeasure, I came out of it feeling okay after he further broke down the pay scale. I agreed to the terms of the promotion on Monday and asked if we could loop back on Friday. So promoted on Monday without pay, had a meeting, agreed to the terms of my promotion, asked for follow-up meeting to take place on Friday, I was let go that Thursday. So be vocal, but not too vocal lol
When I started with the company they obviously were not as well known as they are now (and even now Carmax still has the advantage), so everything about it had a family feel to it. You always felt as though DT cared about its employees, but the bigger it has gotten over the past couple years, the more and more that feeling goes away. Can't remember the last time I received a Wellness Grant email. #momoneymoproblems
First company I worked for out of college, I am thankful more than anything and I truly understand business.
And DO NOT TRUST THAT SPEAK UP LINE! It's not confidential and everyone will you know you called.
P.S. Play the game and get in the "Good Ole Boys Club" if you want fast advancement, they even started letting women in.
