Pros

The integrity of the company comes from the top, the Jacobs family, down. Delaware North Companies core values are evident in their programs, from GuestPath, GreenPath, sustainable resources and their commitment to education and medical research. Managers have almost unlimited opportunities to grow through DNC's Virtual University and learn on the job by mandatory programs and certifications relavent to food and beverage management. Total compensation, including benefits, is good.

Cons

Managers are expected to work long hours, however that is par for the course in the food and beverage industry. DNC's expectations of their managers are very demanding, but it is worth it with the growth opportunities.

Pros

Good first exposure to client facing roles if no prior exposure. Good for learning to balance technical execution with advisory duties. Good for hands-on experience/learning CRM tools you may not have had prior experience with. Decent benefits. Opportunities to create your own “fun” side projects if you have enough drive to do so.

Cons

Long hours, frequent after-hours/on-call work, including weekends and holidays. Lack of clearly defined process/constantly changing process, making onboarding new hires challenging or educating other departments more difficult. Frequently pivoting business decisions, causing further hiccups in process. Lack of communication. Lack of upward career mobility. Base pay is relatively low. While there are opportunities for raises, chances of promotion are very rare. High stress, high turnover environment that causes scrambling to fill in gaps of lost productivity, causing more pivoting business decisions and revisions of process.
