Arrive at work, get your work area set up, some basic prep. Learned data entry and packaging. Management are not as kind as they pretend. Half Spanish speakers and half English speakers which can make communication a little difficult on occasion, people are nice enough but you can't trust them. Gossip culture. Hardest part is standing on your feet all day, but you get used to it. Most enjoyable is some people provide some entertainment through their dramatics. 

The lack of communication between every building and even within each is frustrating. Management is extremely stressed all the time. 
Material handling is difficult in the main production building because it is so crowded. You constantly have to move carts and other objects around just to do your job.  It seems like material handlers are truly at the bottom of the barrel even though they’re essential. 
They keep hiring more people on the lines even though there’s no room. 
The pay is not worth the stress, especially since new hires can make more than long term workers. 

I had a very disappointing experience with this company. Despite repeatedly asking about when I would be officially hired, management never gave me a clear answer. My lead, mocked me for not speaking Spanish perfectly, and a coworker fat-shamed me, creating a hostile environment. Many employees spoke little English, and I was constantly asked to translate without ever being compensated for it. Overall, the workplace was unprofessional, disrespectful, and exploitative. I would not recommend working here.

Each day is filled with entering and completing details for orders, by phone and email. My detail-oriented coworkers are surprisingly supportive and helpful. Other departments are also understanding and polite. 
Our department supervisors and manager are very supportive and speak up for us to other departments. There's a strong sense of teamwork throughout.
This is the best team I've worked with in 30 years of employment.

The department manager was inconsistent and not dependable, always doing the job in the 11th hour, creating undue stress and chaos for the others within the department. If I didn’t arrive at DCI with the knowledge already I surely wasn’t going to learn it from my supervisor. Never have I had reason to review a company I worked for this low but, in this case, the supervisor was just not effective with her job and those she oversaw.

DCI is full of great people, who work very hard to keep the level of service to their customers at a great level. Upper management struggles to keep the company values in line with day to day activities. Company is growing into equipment business, this has caused a complete neglect parts division. Upper management displays favoritism regularly, constant put downs make for harsh work environments at times.

Working here did nothing for my resume. My manager was absentminded most of the time, and left a whirlwind of mess behind themselves of files and paperwork that everyone else was expected to clean up each morning. I worked daily in a culture of fear, as I was not one of the “popular crowd” because I was there to perform a job function, contributing to the companies bottom line. Don’t bother with this company, you’re better off working for a big Portland company.

Originally went in to interview for a buyer position and put me in chairline to “Learn” but soon realized I was lied to. They don’t care about you only their bottom line. They will lie to get you in the door and it doesn’t become apparent until a few months later and by then you have realized you have wasted your time here. I will never used this place as a reference on my resume. Extremely Awful and leadership is definitely lacking. 

The company itself isn't bad. It's upper management. There's no room for growth unless you are a favorite. You can work your butt off but gets you nowhere. Bullying and unfair treatment from managers and new COO  Very disorganized. Decisions being made without thinking of who it will affect and what the outcome. You also get told you will be hired on after 90 days but end up being a temp for over a year. 

Management is fair and friendly.I have learned new skills for the job market.Company has many long term employees.Hardest part of the job is learning to build new parts.It hasn't been a problem for me to learn new parts just challenging.Company treats employees very well,doing BBQ lunches etc.
