Dana-co LLC

Working with store personnel and helping customers was very rewarding and you get the chance to make a difference in women’s lives on a daily basis! Unfortunately, the company culture and low pay offset all the positive aspects of this job. Management was very shady and expectations were constantly changing without notice. Good employees were fired and truly BAD employees were given their position. Despite your best efforts, you will always be viewed suspiciously by management and treated with disrespect (bullying, executives hanging up in your face, etc..) There is also an expectation that employees work during personal time, as management does not allow office hours for you to keep up with the endless office work.  If you decide to resign, you will be forced to beg HR for your final paycheck. There is a reason turnover is so high at Dana-co. Think twice before taking a job with this company.

The job itself, being in stores working with different associates and customers is very rewarding and fun. There has been a huge turn over with employees. They keep changing work expectations and territories.  They keep eliminating positions, and then they try to redistribute the work to other people.   They pay under the government rate for mileage and do not include commute time in your day, which is ridiculous when some of your stores might be well over an hour away - meaning no work-life balance.   They expect you to do a lot of office work, but do not give you office hours to complete this work.  They do not appreciate their employees, and constantly compare you to other employees and use that to "motivate" you to be better.  They pay below many competitors in the industry.

Employees are given less then inferior equipment and many have to work in spaces that are cramped and tight. Some have ability to work from home, others don’t and nothing is done for equity. 

Sure they put out some snacks however it’s on their time and only a select few are placed out so if your not fast enough. 

When your hired you are NOT trusted in any way and told you need to earn trust. Then what’s the hiring process for ? 

Everything in the company has to be approved by the owner even down to  spending money in a budget or for something as little as $5. This is the epitome of micromanagement. IT management doesn’t even know their own environment or infrastructure nor are they present. 

Don’t walk RUN away. 

There are absolutely zero growth opportunities here. There are clear established cliques who welcome
no one and share no information whatsoever even if it pertains to your department. Don’t expect to be creative, innovative or implement any new ideas or processes, especially if there is an expense associated with it. Everyone is held to different expectations, some are held to none at all. There is no fairness and certainly everyone is not equal here.

The job itself is very fun. Working with different associates and customers is very rewarding and the product is fantastic. I believe upper management is the reason why there has been a huge turn over with employees. They changed the Work expectation out of no where. Which means work life balance would not exist. I definitely do not feel like they appreciate their employees. A little advice.. have EVERYTHING in writing. Or it will get used against you. They do not pay enough either, especially with the new expectation.

Busy small team and everyone (department and company executives included!) is expected to work hard and hands-on.  Lots of learning and great experience to be had.  The company likes to bring the team together to celebrate to promote team strength.

Horrible people to work with especially the managers there is no training and you might as well walk backwards because they’re stabbing you in the back.  Owner just likes to hear himself talk and doesn’t see what management really do. Operation manager in Fairview will spend 45 minutes on the employees email signature that’s where she wastes all the time and nonsense . The only time you get to do your work correctly is once the managers are still not in the office especially in the New Jersey location

I saw lots of good, talented people come and go the few years I spent at Dana Co. The company motto should be, “well you have a job, you should be grateful, now let’s take full advantage of that fact until you realize you deserve much better!” They really should be ashamed of themselves as an organization. Be prepared to fight for your rights, money and dignity. Don’t bother.

Company has changed very much since I started here. I believe it is upper management that is to blame. 

Also the employees are given additional work and not compensated accordingly. Pay does not take into account the state you live (remote employee) so I can barely get by with where I reside. 

Pros to the job will be creating your own schedule and deciding the cadence of your store visits. That's about it.

i didn't had a lot experience to start with, so I learned tons of stuff and sketching skills here. supervisor extremely nice, and always try to make sure i get her point. everybody else is helpful as well, I even got a small raise in 6 month. There were free chinese new year lunch, birthday lunch, engagement lunch, market week lunch ....
