Pros
Most of the people - outside of the leadership staff - are amazing. I’ve made lifelong friendships working at DW and loved my team. I guess it’s a pro that you get lunch everyday but they only do that so you will not be interrupted by leaving the office for food. They want you to keep working. This was said to me by a high level staff member.
Cons
You are a number, not a name. Leadership tells you from day one that it’s a privilege to have a seat at the table and you’re easily replaceable. People really do want to work here, so it’s true that you’re easily replaceable. That doesn’t mean the employer should have that attitude about their team members. Instead of helping you grow, they’re waiting for you to fail. DW does not believe in work-life balance and you will hear this from HR, your supervisor, and the CEOs. Refusing to work on your PTO will most likely get you terminated - even if it’s not an emergency. The longer you stay, the more likely it is for you to be replaced by someone with “fresh ideas”. The CEO told everyone in a staff meeting that we won’t get promoted anytime soon because he wanted to hire new employees above us. Things like “it’s not that you’re not good, you’re just not good enough” are said regularly as an excuse to not give opportunities for promotion. Transparency is not a thing here. I know several people who were told they were doing a great job and next thing you know they’re booted out the door. They are always looking over your shoulder and micromanaging. Being a manager here is horrible because you’ll have the CEOs and HR asking why a team member was on their phone for a few minutes.
