Dorman Products – “Not a bad place to work.”

Pros

The employees truly care about the success of the company and the sense of teamwork within the individual departments is very strong. Management treats the employees pretty well and does alot of little things to build emloyee morale. The company has maintained its small company culture while continuing to grow and it is a very friendly environment to work in. The stock performance has been very strong!

Cons

The strategic initiatives are not always clearly defined to the employees down the chain. Sometimes an initiative takes on a life of its own and the result is that the individual departments take off in different directions that overlap or conflict.

Advice to Senior Management

While teamwork within the individual departments is very strong, more needs to be done to build cohesion cross functionally.
