Offer sales travel trips if your meet your presidential goals and then only give it to one person instead of all the people who meet the same goals. A marketing release letter was sent to promote everyone to get us to push hard to be included in the group trip..and then it was time and 6 people met those requirements DTN didn’t follow through. It was a slap in our faces. The person who they chose to win the trip was laid off that year. Not even a year later they are hiring for the same position. And the older women can’t find a job because she to younger to retire and to old for company’s to hire.

Underpaid staff and expectations of working over hours unpaid. Expectations to not necessarily fix issues but band aid them to pass inspections. Was a hostile work environment if you dont fit in their "click" pointing out blatant safety issues and practices for team members was met with "we have done this for 20 years" and not actually fixing the procedure to meet new codes or laws. No appreciation for the hourly maintenance staff, but constant get together and lunches for managers.

As much as I would love to say something bad about the company, I can't. Sure, sometimes upper management went in a different direction than others thought they should, but I did enjoy the work. The people I worked with were great, reliable, knowledgeable. There was a lot of work to do (typically a 45-55+ hour work week), but I'm not going to complain. The company took care of me and I took care of the company.

Worked here during the pandemic. Before the pandemic started, DTN hired a new CTO. At first, everything seemed fine until he started to make changes randomly and without warning. He would not consult with engineers when making changes. Or at least he did not consult the engineers that the changes would impact. Because of him, many talented people who had been there for decades left. If DTN replaced him as CTO, I think things would get better. 

My team and the work I am doing are great and very nice. I enjoy waking up for my job. The benefits and PTO are amazing. The issue is the upper management, higher-ups, are really a mess. They have had several hiring and firings so there is no organization on who we report to. The teams switch up every so often, so you can't go too hard on anything, and it can be a challenge to find people knowledgeable on topics.

The first boss I had was short lived so I don't have much to say about them. But the second boss cared about the workers and made sure we were okay and even bought us food when we worked late. The boss that replaced him only cared about meeting corporate standards and made the workplace miserable. This wouldn't matter as much if we got paid a half decent amount but the pay was awful.

Work for a company who has your back. Work for an agency who values your boundaries as they apply to the BON that governs you. This company will shake you off to save a dollar. They express double standards as long as it is their favor. Life is to short to end up with the short end the stick so they can make money off of you. 

This company is gobbling up smaller companies left and right. One day everything is great, and the next you have a new manager who doesn’t really want you as an employee. Micromanagement to the extreme. No career path. Promised the chance to have additional training and attend conferences, but no follow through. Management did not appreciate hard work.

DTN has given me opportunities to move upward that I might not have had elsewhere. They were good about assessing individual talents and experience and were not as hung up on having a degree. The culture of the workplace is open and friendly. And the people are the best part of coming to work!

I was hired as a contractor in the Met department, with a particular graphics job for a few months (from my previously outsourced position).  I enjoyed working with the friendly staff and the ability to work from home during this time (especially during the early months of covid-19).
