Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at DXP Enterprises full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – No micro-management
Wide range of support if you know the right people
Growing company always looking to expand their market

Cons – No incentive to perform at higher level
Absolute joke on evaluation and retention of strong employees
Along with no micro-management, the downside is as long as margins remain strong or grow they don't pay attention to the employees who drove these gains
The employees who show initiative and drive this business and believe in what they are doing are ignored and eventually leave due to much better opportunities where their true value is recognized and compensated for
They will gladly ignore employees feedback and needs as long as margins are met
Work there for years and consistently get strongest feedback from multiple customers who constantly reinforced positive opinions and helped drive/grow business yet DXP refuses to do anything to retain valuable employees especially if you are not at corporate office

Advice to Senior Management – Pay attention to the people in the field generating growth and strong customer feedback
Compensate your employees fairly and provide opportunities for growth
Acknowledge needs of employees from time to time
Provide clear incentives and reward those who show strong leadership and initiative

Former Employee – worked at DXP Enterprises full-time for more than a year

Pros – Flexible work hours. Seems working at what ever schedule you want is ok.

Cons – Senior management is very poor and unprofessional. They portray themselves as a big company with lots of opportunty but the fact is they are not professional in their treatment and handling of people. There is a lot of politics inside corporate and a lot of favoritism. Stay away from working at corporate especially if under any senior management.

Advice to Senior Management – Get your organization with experieced senior management. Example, if you want to lead marketing with a senior manager make sure he/she has the right level of experience and no favoritism characterisics. It is ruining your company profile in the market.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at DXP Enterprises as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – Casual work pace. great for ex-military.

Cons – Bias, Abusive of contract labor rights, 0-notice terminations as a norm

Advice to Senior Management – This is not a good choice for contract-hire employment. Being involved in the information side, I saw more than a handful of surprise terminations here in my short time, till I too was overworked, then also eventually surpise terminated. Among these people are those just quitting due to mistrust and incompetence finally catching up, or leaving because they are cashing in a new job opportunity.

Long term employment is there, if you are willing to take a sharp paycut and work for less than your promised contract-hire amount. The ratio of contract to hires in my department veruses those contractors fired is a joke (around 1 of 15), and I only witnessed 1 person who actually got prior notice before termination (due to incompetence..) How'd they, or the other 14 people hired and fired that year in my department even make it through the interview process in the first place?!

If you do happen to be military they'll hold your job for you and place a contractor at it, assuming you are good at what you do, but are bored with it and want to go on another tour.. big perk for those types. They will also get you trained in whatever they need you to know if you are in responsilbility position (because they don't want to hire someone ACTUALLY qualified till everything is about to go up in flames..so they'll bump you up to the job title.. not the pay though.. this type of pattern that is prevalent in the entire company's spending habits).

Bias/segregation is prevalent, though they do try hard to maintain equal opportunity status.

Former Employee – worked at DXP Enterprises full-time for more than a year

Pros – -Monday-Friday No Weekends Job
-Benefits after 90 days, Paid Holidays, Sick days(6) and 1 personal day
-You do your job, no one will mess with you, just mind your own business.

Cons – -Poor pay
-No chance for advancement, at least in the area I worked in.
-Most coworkers got there by another related family member ex. sisters, brothers, working there
-Manager just sits on his chair all day and does not care what employees are doing, but then when upper management gets on his tail, he is all in your case.
-Too much gossip going around, manager does nothing about it, infact encourages it.
-Most people there are lazy, seriously, they do not care about their job.
-They say they do background check, but I know for a fact they had someone there who was on probation and for a fact there was a guy working there who is now in jail. Scary!!

Advice to Senior Management – Please hire people who are competent. At least have a HS diploma and not a GED or did not graduate from HS. Need to update equipment, everything is old. Please hire a Warehouse Manager who knows what they are doing or at least pretends to care.
