Pros

Seemed like nice people, family atmosphere. On-site parking and good benefits. They'll even pay a gym membership up to $150.00.

Cons

Relocated from out-of-state after being told they are looking for a long-term employee. I was initially contacted by a recruiter and after an in-depth interview process (3 telephone interviews and one SKYPE interview, and an in-person interview) I gave notice to my previous employer. Within 10 days of starting the job, there was an IT reorg and within 45 days, both myself and another employee who had been there about 4-1/2 months were let go. I had stayed in a hotel for 2 weeks and had I known how short the duration of this job would be, I would never have signed a 1 year lease...so I am now on the hook for the balance of the lease and stuck paying utilities and rent when I do not have a job in Harrisburg...still maintaining my home (mortgage, etc.) in another state. The company does not pay relocation costs but I was led to believe this was going to be a great opportunity...it was.. until the manager who hired me ended up with another position and I had a different manager as a result of the reorg. I accepted the position in good faith and had absolutely no idea they would do this to me. I wasn't even allowed to clean out my desk....they just gave me a couple of my things and showed me the door. I was not given any significant reason...I think they just decided to change course at my expense. I had thought I did my due diligence about this company...I did not have a written contract but there were lots of positive emails....there was an oral contract and a handshake. I have been put in a very bad position by this company. There were no signs of any issues...needless to say I have been left holding the bag...unless I seek legal recourse. Emotionally, physically and financially, I am a wreck right now. and I am writing this review to prevent someone else from going through this.

Pros

D&H is a consistently successful, unique, creative, growing ESOP company with a positive, collaborative culture. It's a very stable and strongly rooted company in the distribution world, yet nimble with a keen eye for identifying trending markets to maneuver through and pivot with efficiency.

Cons

In support of executing larger projects, there are occasional/temporary needs for weekend and/or off hours work to meet target dates. I find this to be normal across other companies where I've worked, and in the end, it fosters a sense of team accomplishment.

Pros

Market average starting pay and benefits. Decent work/life balance if you don't mind never getting promoted.

Cons

Toxic work culture. People are promoted based on their willingness to have no life outside of the company. If you want any kind of career advancement, you have to volunteer for weekend activities and stay late in the office even if there's no work to be done. People are not rewarded for just doing their job and working hard within a 40 hour work week. Nobody gets a raise based on solely performance. You can only make more money if you get promoted. And as previously mentioned, you're not getting promoted unless you devote your entire life to the company. Management will simultaneously brag about how much net profits are increasing every quarter and then tell you that there just isn't any money in the budget for raises this year. The ESOP is a joke unless you get promoted. There is no guaranteed total amount you're owed. Management decides how much goes in your ESOP and it will be peanuts unless they like you.
