David Lewis & Associates

In any independently owned business you are expected to wear multiple hats, where sometimes the direction of the proverbial ship may be unclear. As in any independently owned organization, there will be those that don’t agree with decisions or that want to put in the work that is required for successful outcomes. DLA strives to offer their clients "best in class" service. Unfortunately for some this pace requires people who are self motivated, take initiative, are not overly sensitive and are not solely driven by their own ego. To work in this type of organization you need to be incredibly self aware, be a team player who does not always get the trophy.  For those that thrive in such an environment this is definitely a place to grow personally and professionally.

My time working at David Lewis and Associates has been very positive. The office culture is relaxed but productive, and the work environment is drama-free. My coworkers are very friendly and everyone feels like a meaningful part of the larger team. Management is also very helpful and it has always been easy to communicate directly with management if I ever had any questions or needed any assistance.  I have been particularly happy with being able to learn new skills during my time with the company. While I mainly focus on digital content, I’ve also had the opportunity to work on graphic design for print media as well as working on graphics for convention booths. Additionally, I’ve been able to gain experience with marketing on social media.

Working a typical 8:30-5:30 gives me the opportunity to maintain a healthy routine and balance between my work life and home life, having evenings and weekends to myself. Management is on top of everything and has never failed to make sure their employees are satisfied. I've never felt unfair, or judged. Coming from someone with a strong personality, I've always been able to voice my opinions and or concerns without being shut down, instead everyone here has been open minded completely. My co-workers are all respectful. There isn't a hard part of my job, I'm good at what I do and any troubles I have my boss is right there to assist me. The most enjoyable part of my job is the fact that everyone here understands that we all spend 40 hours a week together- so we all work to keep a positive environment and make each other laugh and feel happy to work for this company.

It is inspiring to work for a company that is passionate about educating others to improve their personal and business goals collectively.   On a personal note, this company employs hard working individuals who know how to use their time efficiently by working smarter, not harder which also includes having fun when appropriate.   We each have families and management understands the need to provide a balance in this area as we all have individual needs.  DLA expects all employees to take two, 15 minute breaks daily and an hour for lunch.  We all arrive at 8:30 and leave at 5:30 with NO WEEKENDS!  Overall, a great place to spend 40 hours per week while providing a service to one of the most important industries in the U.S.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It is a great working atmosphere that promotes efficiency, production and accuracy.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I do not find working at DLA to be stressful in any way.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is a corporate environment where expectations are placed on efficiency, accuracy and production. There is also family culture  that allows for the humanistic side of the employee.  Time  for family and personal needs is given with understanding and support. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My day is structured with routine tasks.  Occasionally new or unexpected projects arise.  My job has deadlines that need to be met.

Upon starting with the company I was provided a one month training program that included significant shadowing with a tenured trainer.    As a Sales & Management Trainer in one of the Davis Lewis regional training centers, I receive timely and effective support services from the corporate office.  I was present when David Lewis opened one of the training centers in the Northeast and was amazed at how quickly and efficiently the center was set up.  The facility which includes multi-media training rooms, a cafe, client lounges and game rooms was operational in just two weeks from construction being complete. Most enjoyable part is working with various clients all over the country, it makes everyday new and challenging.

I would recommend this job if you are desperate and one eviction notice away from becoming homeless. A typical day at work starts with a "Are you being productive?" from the owner of the company. If you were hired to work in sales expect to use your personal phone to make company calls without compensation. Got hired to work in recruitment? Expect your target rate to rise without the commission rate. Working in Management and getting a salary? Expect to do work outside your career field, like getting dry cleaning or replacing light bulbs. But still the most enjoyable part of the job, no matter the field, is being told your an idiot and your ideas are useless. The slogan of the office is " Make some s*** up!"

A typical work day starts at 8;30 am managers are eager to help you learn..Management coaches you, in return you learn how to sell which equates to commission.The commission is more than fair.The work culture is great very mature people that still know how to have fun.The company is secure they have been in business over 30 years. The owner has vision and the company is growing. The hardest part of the job is DLA is growing and change is inevitable.The most enjoyable part of the job is.they pay by the hour plus commission.The sky is the limit the harder you work the more you earn, Sales managers treat you with respect but they are firm on company standards.It;s nice leaving at 5:30 pm and leaving the job at work. Great place to work

Arrived at 8am, started coding or whatever technical issue that needed to be fixed first before coding could begin. Took lunch at noon, returned at 1pm, continued tasks until 5 - 5:30pm. I learned how to use several different programming languages and programs. I learned how to use many machines and how to do technical support and deal with customers. My co-workers were great people and we all got along well. The hardest part of the job was having to pick up the slack everytime someone was let go and no replacement was ever hired. The most enjoyable part of the job was learning how to use all the different programs.

Sign me up for adventure! I love the ability to travel, get to see the country and do what I love to do all day!  As a National Trainer you get to coach, guide and see the benefits of your work daily. Management is very supportive and is always available when you need help.

Just one of the many perks working for David Lewis and Associates is the annual Trainers Cruise. My wife is still talking about that. 

Amazing Work Life Balance by only traveling 12 days a month! The time off is amazing. Being home every weekend and having at least one week off per month is incredible. 

In short, working for David Lewis and Associates is truly an adventure! Supportive management, good work life balance, fair compensation and getting to do what you love to do.
