Poor Leadership and Short Employee Tenure - Anonymous employee Duco Employee Review

I was doing mostly sales but also some project management. - Lots of opportunities to take leadership roles - Pay increases straightforward to negotiate to get if you perform well and ask for them. - Leadership does not micromanage and is motivated to grow the firm - Company is financially responsible, avoids layoffs, and really cares about this.

- Some lack of direction as far as which markets the company should grow into - Some lack of experience in leadership when it comes to growing the sales/ marketing function

Small team startup environment creates room to step up, fill gaps, and make a real impact Supportive and empowering manager and team culture Strong investment in the intern program — structured meetings, including direct access to the CEO Intern cohort was well-organized, mobilized, and given genuine learning opportunities

Felt like I operated in silos, limiting cross-functional visibility and collaboration Frequent reorganizations and shifting team structures create instability and ambiguity
