Pros
Free lunch on Fridays, some good coworkers, decent choice of health insurance
Cons
A huge weight has been lifted since seeking new employment outside of Dash. I knew the environment was toxic while there but now that I'm gone I see just how bad it was. I should have known when I first started that if 3 people warn you to watch your back, you should probably slowly back away and start running. Most execs are in NY and have no idea about the day to day in Chicago nor do they seem to want to hear it. Their turn over rates were shockingly bad. You never knew who or when the next "lay off" would be. Most of the time it was simply because management didn't understand why that person was important or because that person said the wrong thing to the wrong person and was stabbed in the back. They superficially care about their employees until they decide that employee is no longer of use to them. The execs play favorites and it's usually to those that have the brownest noses. An ongoing joke within the organization is that "transparency" is in their tagline but nothing about the way they operate is transparent. My coworkers and I begged for more communication, for an organization chart, anything that gave us more insight and they downright refused. They are also extremely excessively litigious, as other posters have mentioned. I'm so glad I didn't have to sign a separation agreement, I can't even imagine how much those probably hold you by the balls. They do work, though, I think Dash would have more poor reviews if people weren't so afraid of the company finding out who they are and going after them.
