Pros

Wide range of products, always a lot to learn. Stable customer base.

Cons

Director level are bullies and sycophants. Senior management is completely disconnected. Good business processes either don't exist or are not enforced. Metrics are openly faked across the business.

Pros

Pay was average if that...

Cons

average pay to below average with high expectations for work output with unattainable commissions goals. Tried implementing a new commission plan 2 months before i left and a work colleague with 9 yrs tenure would then be taking a $10k salary decrease, due to them changing the commission plan from underneath them. Toxic work culture, as everyone has either 20+ years of tenure and expects you to know as much as they've learned within 1 year of working there. NO Training program which promotes irregularities among coworkers and internal issues, as well as issues with communication for customers. Everyone has an attitude in the office, the buildings on both sites (NY, and CT) are horribly outdated in terms of HVAC, flooring, lighting, restrooms etc. (to turn on the lights in the office, you have to use the breaker box, like what the heck?) Definitely a great place to work if you want to commit career suicide. Best of luck.

Pros

* There are some workplaces (not many, I hope) even worse than Deacro. * Generally good co-operation and even solidarity between employees. * Davis-Standard bought Deacro, so there are chances to see some favourable changes (actually, there are some improvements already) * A perfect workplace to recommend to your ennemies!

Cons

* A workplace where the initiative is penalized. * Bullying and constant pressure on employees. * Impossible to be promoted, unless... read the next bullet please. * Delation is encouraged and rewarded. * Micromanagement and even nanomanagement. * The employee is a number, a robot or anything else than a human being. * Own tools. * The worst workplace I have ever worked in my life!
