What are perks and other benefits like at Dahl Consulting?

Pros

I've experienced a seamless onboarding process, the recruiter reassured me by checking in as we waited for the client to respond, and the pay systems looks very user friendly. I am being compensated fairly. They also have gone the extra step to welcome me aboard.

Cons

I'm used to working at big companies where thousands of employees pay into the benefits pool and lower the prices due to economies of scale. I consider these benefits too expensive, but that's just my subjective opinion. You can judge for yourself because they are very transparent and post this information on their website (which I appreciate).

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing.

Pros

Good partner between the contract for hire company and myself Advocated higher pay increase when I asked them to Quick to respond to questions I had Payments are always on time Given important info when needed

Cons

Seemed to be unsupportive and shut me down when I asked about current MN Laws stating employers had to provide sick leave benefits regardless of whether the company provides any other benefits to contractors. I provided them it documentation and they quickly side skirted it. Saying I didn't work in Mpls or St. Paul because I lived in a suburb. But in actuality I worked many days in MPLS even though my contract stated remote work. I didn't want to fight them on technicalities but they came across very unsupportive which was a surprise to me. I was just inquiring. They just shut the question down without getting any more info.

Pros

After 7 months of unsuccessful job hunting, I partnered with Dahl Consulting and landed a very nice contract with a big corporation. Even after a small hiccup with a different agency had caused some confusion during the offer phase, my recruiter handled it well and sorted out the details swiftly, keeping me informed and in the loop. Very professional and helpful. Dahl checks in periodically to see how my assignment is going and to see if I need anything. I would trust Dahl again in the future, should I need more employment assistance.

Cons

No health benefits were offered to me. Not sure if this is because I'm a part-time contractor instead of a full-time one, but I don't think I was ever offered a health benefits package. Even though I am still considered a W2 employee. I've worked for other places that offer benefits, even to part-time employees (min. 20 hours/week). That's the only con I can think of.

Pros

Hannah is amazing. Communication and interview process has been smooth and easy. Great benefits and pay.

Cons

None so far, if I had to choose something I would say maybe the I9 verification process for remote workers.

Pros

I couldn’t recommend enough. They helped me find the perfect job. Everyone I’ve encountered at Dahl has been friendly, caring and professional!

Cons

Not too many! As a contracting agency, benefits are a bit expensive.

Pros

Flexible work schedule Friendly staffers Remote work available Gain experience in areas without having to compete for positions

Cons

No paid time off No real benefits

Advice to Management

I would suggest working on communication with employees a little more as it can be difficult to get a hold of someone.

Pros

Company that really cares about their employees, good benefits

Cons

short term contract; prefer longer contract

Pros

All of the people who help manage contract workers at Dahl are friendly and helpful, including HR and representatives. They respond as soon as possible when I have questions.

Cons

I wish the benefits were a little better.

Pros

Dahl Consulting has a great team ready to help you find your new job. They have excellent communication and are willing to go out of their way to find job positions that best suit your interests and strengths.

Cons

The only downside of working for Dahl rather than the actual company I work at, is not being able to receive the 'full-time' benefits that the company offers. Contracted benefits are still available, but they are just not the best.

Pros

Flexibility and pay is standard

Cons

Little to very few benefits for contractors
