Donovan Marine

At first they treat you nice because you are new. No training involved, its a figure it out situation. Money is good, not worth the headache this company gives you. Donovan Marine expects you to fake it to make it.  There is zero praise. There is ZERO room for advancement. Be careful if you have personality, they hate on that too. Very uncomfortable working conditions as far as the people around you. These evil people spread rumors about you. The customers are angry all the time so be prepared to deal with This is a dead end job that expects you to be a robot with no ideas and feelings. Dont try to over acheive, they will never see you. This would be an awesome place to work at if people acted like a team but unfortunately these people here are greedy and self absorbed. You will feel like you are getting picked on and the employees try to make you feel less than anything. You will waste time here, this is a temporary job and the employees will make sure of that. 

Techs seemed to make good money with a $35 an hour cap as long as they could handle being talked down to by others. No support from upper management. 
Employees were encouraged to go over their immediate supervisor head. 
Donovan seemed totally incompetent when it comes to trying to run a service business. 
They bought out a 30yr successful business and told us they would not change anything and changedjust about everything. We were told that we would keep the same benefits and better pay. All lies. In my case my cost for insurance doubled (up 8k a year) and took a 10k a year cut in pay with more working hours and responsibilities. Was on call 24/7. 1st into work last to leave and worked almost every weekend. Fulfilled the service manager position for 2 years before the buy out with only minor problems and was fired with no reason after a month. No input or complaints from upper management at all on
how i ran the day to day operations. Thank god i didnt waste much time there.

Good coworkers
Excellent leadership
Clear and defined job roles
Extremely fluid staff
Phone Lords need not apply
However, if your someone who works hard and commits yourself to the daily work load (small most days) you will find yourself in a relaxing environment with respectful coworkers, with management willing to work with you. There is hard work to be done do not get me wrong. Some weeks offer more of a challenge then others.
This is a work hard play hard environment.
I typically request off a day or two off every other month, two weeks in advance without issue.

Stressful !!! Management doesn’t have a clue to what is going on but they think you should know !!!

I'd never recommend this company to anyone that will not work in sales or management. Very abusive  culture, lies, lies, and more lies. Team unity is encouraged in the open, but strongly discouraged under the table, particularly by immediate management. There's even been countless accusation of racism experienced by many employees that have never been been resolved. Terrible place!!!

Be prepared to work over during summer until about 8pm. Orders are supposed to stop at 5 but continues. Delivery trucks have to be loaded at the end of the day which is for emergency only accept customers still put orders in sometime under $10 going as far as Woodstock Il.
