Pros

It used to be a great place to work, where the culture and values spoke for themselves and were believed in. Not anymore.

Cons

From day to day, you are waiting for your time to come. Everyone is on pins and needles as "cost cutting measures" are rolled out. Things that made the company great keep getting taken away. People that have been there for years, giving blood sweat and tears to the company are there one day and gone the next, with absolutely no communication or explanation. The CEO talks about "transparency", but it's all just fluff. The people in charge are a joke, and they have no idea how their people are really feeling. Way to tear down something that was once great!

It is disappointing to hear of your concerns in this manner... to be sure. I really would like to hear more about the items you mentioned, especially related to things being taken away or communications shortcomings. DRB is still a great company, and we are very committed to making it even better! I hope you’ll pursue a meeting with me in the near future so we can better understand and move toward resolution of your concerns. Thanks! Mike Hudson (Director, Human Resources)

Pros

Great entry point into tech and a good place to develop technical troubleshooting and customer service skills. Benefits were relatively affordable compared to other companies I've worked for. Opportunities to work with multiple departments and gain exposure to different areas of the business. Ability to build relationships with customers and develop professional networking opportunities. Worked with many great coworkers who made the day-to-day experience enjoyable. Overtime opportunities were generally available for those who wanted them. Work from home opportunities.

Cons

Career paths to move up and out of the call center were definitely becoming more limited towards the end of my time there. When starting out, you quickly learn through trial and error who is willing to help you grow and who would rather make you feel bad for asking questions. There were some great supervisors to work with, but management quality could vary quite a bit. If one of the less helpful supervisors was the person you needed assistance from that day, you knew it was probably going to be a long shift. Communication between departments could be improved. Issues were sometimes transferred from higher up departments without sufficient ownership, creating additional work and frustration for frontline employees. Senior leadership seemed more focused on call metrics than the quality and complexity of troubleshooting required to resolve customer issues effectively. The overall work environment has gradually shifted toward a more corporate culture over time, compared to when I first started.
