Pros
This is actually not a bad company to work for. The compensation isn't wonderful, but it's also not terrible. (More on that below.) The atmosphere is weird but not unbearable. The CEO does make people say goodbye every day, which is annoying, as he definitely has favorites. It's awkward. They are good to the employees who have been there a really long time, even going as far as to promise to "take care of them" when they sell the company. Whatever that means. There's profit sharing (kinda, it's really just a flat bonus) and the benefits are...ok. They try really hard to run a specific type of office, and I believe they are succeeding in that, as only certain types of people (read: white and Christian) really fit in there. There are times that the company as a whole really pulls together for people who are having some troubles in their personal lives (sickness, death, etc). That's always really nice. Outside of the leadership team, the employees are, for the most part, a great group of people who I really enjoyed working with.
Cons
I agree with a few of the other reviewers on a few points: the CEO is in over his head a little. They are not about productivity, they're about butts-in-seats. If there was a book called "How to Run an Office from the 60s" these guys would have written it. They make 2 female employees serve them lunch every day (including plates and silverware, oh and ordering/picking the food up). It's an environment that encourages an incredible amount of sexism (there's only one woman in leadership here, and she isn't included in things like the weekly "boy's lunch" on Fridays, even though the rest of the leadership team is). As for the compensation, they are grossly underpaying for specific positions when compared against the national averages. The cost of living isn't low in Denver, but they're paying like it is. If you're applying to work in the marketing department, DON'T. Just don't. It's not well-run. They never reach their lead goal, and this is blamed on the sales manager. Sales are there to close the deal. Marketing is there to find the people to make deals with to begin with. Leads are the marketing department's job, but Digitech doesn't grasp this. The entire marketing strategy (including social media) is based on books that were written years ago and are now obsolete. Based on inbound leads, it's clear that these methods are not effective. If you try to offer new ideas, you'll be told "we already tried that 10 years ago and it didn't work." In fact, new ideas are discouraged pretty frequently. After a while, you'll probably give up on trying to be creative or improve things, because your ideas aren't valuable to your superiors. The marketing team is forced to have daily meetings in a tiny office that last a minimum of 30 minutes. They are told this is for "team-building" but work is rarely, if ever, discussed. The team is told these meetings are mandated by the CEO, but no other departments have meetings that long, that often. It's a huge waste of time and money. Bottom line: company as a whole is great if you are a certain kind of person, but don't expect to be paid super well. Also, avoid working in the marketing department here. But if you're really desperate for a marketing job, just heed this advice: keep your head down, smile and nod, and don't try to make any changes. If you do these things, you'll be ok.
