Pros

I met some lifelong friends. Learned a lot. Felt like I did some good for the world.

Cons

The company pretends to care about employees and mission. The direction changes constantly and, imho leadership doesn’t even believe in the mission. 5 (inexperienced and youthful) white straight bros have completely shifted the culture. Turnover is extremely high. This was once a great place to work. Expect Slacks late at night (11pm and beyond) and constant stress. Expect to beg for a raise while leadership rakes in big bucks for doing nothing but changing the culture every 5 minutes. If you ask in an interview about self management, autonomy with support, they will not know how to answer. When I left, DG was disorganized, dispiriting and very very destructive to my psyche.

Pros

It was nice knowing that the hard work you put in each day was to achieve social good for others to enable their fundraising efforts. It was a great reminder that the work you do can truly make a difference in people's lives. I also liked the flexible schedule and the locations were convenient for my daily commute. Plus the popcorn is out of this world so the monthly allowance never went to waste!

Cons

As a growth focused company, but one that is methodical in its focus, sometimes we could move a bit slower than I was accustomed to at prior companies but I eventually adjusted.

Pros

The people you work with and nice days off

Cons

After working hard and dedicating myself to the company, I was let go with no real explanation. Not long after, they started bringing in a bunch of temps to replace full-time employees — clearly a cost-cutting move. It’s frustrating and disheartening to see how easily they’ll toss out experienced staff just to save a few bucks. Management and HR constantly talk about having an “open door policy,” but don’t let the slogan fool you — they’re not there to support you. If you raise concerns or try to speak up, you’re either ignored or brushed off. It’s all talk, no action. I’ve now been unemployed for almost two months, trying to get back on my feet after being blindsided. Just be warned: if you’re looking for stability, fairness, or respect — you won’t find it here.
