Pros

Dormole is a successful, profitable, well established very stable organisation with excellent corporate ethics and values. The Dormole Group is made up of a number of different wholesale and distribution companies supplying tools, accessories and hardware products to the merchant, retail and e-commerce markets throughout the UK and Ireland. The people are very friendly and many of them have extremely long service (it is quite common to hear of people being with the company for more than 30 years!) with the huge experience and in depth knowledge of our product range that this brings.

Cons

There are no real downsides to working here. Whilst across all companies within the group we total more than 1000 full time permanent employees, as a family owned business with a number of different sized branches it still has a small company feel and colleagues are appreciated for their loyalty and commitment.

Pros

Value all the staff and years of experience that contribute to the business, put H&S as a top priority which is shortly succeeded with a top priority ambition to support its customer base beyond general expected customer service levels.

Cons

At times can appear to be risk adverse and procrastinate on change, with a desire for detail in order to make decisions. This has proven a positive formulae in the past.

Pros

Very much a family feel with a caring approach to all colleagues. Support, training and encouraging people to grow is a real focus. Opportunities are their for those who want to develop a career. One of the nicest things is that people are approachable, at whatever level. The CEO will chat to staff (he's even helped with picking when we've been snowed under) in the warehouse and everyone is comfortable with each other. There is none of the 'corporate back-stabbing' you tend to get in some PLC's which i believe is a benefit of being privately owned.

Cons

If you're impulsive and want instant decisions and action, it's not for you. Whilst these can be frustrating (and I have been frustrated in the past), strategic and financial / investment decisions are never rushed. They are discussed between the key stakeholders first. This has proven to be a good approach as, in my experience, the right call is made nearly every time.
