Busy task oriented Business Managers with focus on too many categories that can be overwhelming. Account Leadership can be a problem when they aren't transparent with their Team. Need to give the BDMs more support people as they are the business drivers on the account along with Upper Mgt support.
Need to get focus back on their employees, if People are your Greatest Asset then prove it....the Corporate Leaders may want to hit the road again and visit with the Teams to help figure out where the problem Team Leaders are and move them off the accounts and out of  Daymon.
2015 is off to a rocky start with many employees laid off during the restructuring process and they are no closer to understanding the Fresh side of the business than they were in 2007! Recently made investments in Food Service and they were already way behind the eight ball so it will be interesting to see how they can provide service to that Industry or bail out.

Depending on the week, usually work from 40 to 50 hours a week. This company is a brokerage firm - we have customers and suppliers. Suppliers make out checks and the supplier sends us a commission’s check, which we post to certain purchase orders throughout the system. The end of 2012 we transfer from Cash base accounting and now we are going through a change to accrual accounting. Post checks throughout the day, make spreadsheets to determine if the bar of soap as increased or decreased. We contact our business managers throughout the country and make sure their sales are correct. Sometimes we have commission’s brokerage errors and they are top priority to determine which rate we should be receiving. Management is not accountable, they play favorites, have no control on IT issues, disagree the right approach between teams. There is a lack of communication skills; this is the hard part of the job. The most enjoyable part is when we are successful in receiving brokerage reports from companies that have owed us for quite some time.

Started out to be a company that I knew I could retire from. Became an account that was mismanaged and excessive favoritism.(within the Hy-Vee account) No follow through with supposed discipline in order to meet company guidelines regardless of whom was contacted. Also have no follow through with communication in order to suffice terminated employees. I was terminated with no acceptable explanation. Everything I was told contradicted with my review I received just a week prior to my probation period. Then I was set up to fail because of personal feelings from our account manager and not given any voice to dispute.Great company unless you have terrible management at the account you are in.Benefits are top notch but have no meaning unless you can have a chance to communicate with those that can help!

No training for employees.  Employees that did their job poorly were rewarded with easier work.  Hostile work environment.  Poor leadership: little to no support, no knowledge of HR policy/employment law,  and would play favorites.  Unbalanced work load - certain salaried employees would only work 40 hours while other salaried employees would work 50+ hours a week on a regular basis.  Highly stressful environment.  Upper management within the building does not get along and creates a toxic environment with gossiping, backstabbing and finger pointing.  Constant state of havoc; expectation to always do more, do better, etc. But only from certain employees.  Pricey health insurance. The pay was not nearly enough for what you had to put up with.

3 weeks of the month it is very busy.  The expectation is that you work until it’s done, even if that is until midnight. High stress. 
I’ve gained knowledge about working in brokerage and definitely strengthened my skills in GL journal entries and reconciliation. 
I’ve been here less than 2 years and seen about half of our department leave. My manager left after 1 year of my employment. Current manager reprimands rather than leads. I feel that I’m being punished for being honest and reporting the working situation and demands put on the team. 
Hardest part of the job is not having the resources and support to get the job done timely. 
Fortunately the coworkers I work most directly with are supportive and understanding. They are willing to share knowledge and take the time to answer questions even when they are busy themselves. 

My time with Daymon was my most rewarding learning experience ever. 
The company's business model and approach to its customers were top notch. I started a new business group with the autonomy to build the sector with ongoing support and guidance from of the smartest folks in the consumer products industry.
I traveled extensively, sourcing products worldwide as well as spending time onsite with our customers, learning about their business and how they merchandised products and approached their clients.
My son was born in 2001. My extensive traveling was taking me away from precious moments, so I found a position that kept me closer to home.

Daymon woldwide inc.  Is  fun to work for and I get to meet a lot of people who I interact with and talk with I the public.  I make a nice hourly wage , I only wish that I had more hours.  

Luv  working for daymon worlwide inc.

The hardest part of the job is closing down and cleaning up all the utensils and drying in a 22 minutes time frame.  The management is very very friendly  !  Very nice  !  A typical day at work is standing and talking and interacting with the customer and selling the food products that I sample out  !

I love the fact that the job keeps you on your toes. I dislike the unrealistic expectations of when things should be done especially when you have to wait on someone else's go ahead

I believe I have learned that sometimes you just got to step out the comfort zone and go for it! 
The hardest part is that it is a tedious job you have to pay good attention and there is no room for failure. It can be very overwhelming sometimes
