Bewertungen für Dealer.com

Pros

- Awesome Co-Workers (the one thing I miss about working at DDC. A real eclectic, fun-loving group of people) - Decent Benefits for BTV Market - Lots of Perks in the Burlington Office (On-Site Gym, Indoor Tennis Court/Basketball Court, Crossfit Equipment, Yoga Studio, Subsidized Local Food, Two Cafes, On-site Massages, etc.) - If you love cars, you get to live in the automotive industry day-in and day-out

- Workload was massive and the client-load was unmanageable. It was a constant grind. A 40 hr work week was unobtainable if all monthly deliverables were to be completed fully and on-time. Lower level management was understanding of the constraints and tried to help, which was appreciated, but at the end of the day, we were arguably the best SEO team in the industry, the Sales team was effective in increasing... business, and it was just a total grind trying to supply the demand. - Pay is low (especially in comparison to larger markets and given the workload) - Difficult to take PTO because of the workload. - Beginning to lose the culture/vibe that made DDC the best place to work in VT (transitioning from start-up/community vibe to corporate vibe at a quick pace) - Upper management didn't seem in-tune with the SEO department, beyond the sales and churn figures.

SEO Managers - Keep doing the great work you've been doing all along, but check-in and have candid conversations with team members. Many long-term, valued analysts are burnt out and looking for a way out. Not because they dislike the team or SEO, but because the workload is not sustainable. Managed Services Leadership - Take a serious interest in the SEO department and the work that they do. Actually shadow an... Analyst for a day to understand how they operate, interact with clients, the difference they make, and then find a way to budget for the hiring of more Analysts. Top-notch people are leaving MS and the organization because the workload is massive, the stress is high, and at the end of the day, the reward is just not there.

Pros

Just started at Dealer.com around 3 months ago. Loving the work/life balance that they offer. The management is great and feels like they really care about you and your life outside of your job. Currently liking everything about the position!

Working in a remote office off the main HQ so you have to be proactive and find things to do.

Aside from overworking, overextending and fundamentally mistreating employees within the client services department, Dealer.com has a sexual harassment problem. I was sexually harassed for months on end by a senior team member. I finally worked up the courage to bring this up to management and was asked whether or not I wanted the issue to be reported. I felt as though the implication was that I should say no, so I... did. The harassment continued, and finally I brought it up again once I found out this person had harassed multiple other people. This time we met with HR, and I was told that there was nothing they could do unless other people came forward. This blatant sexual harasser has since been promoted. This is not the first, not even the second person to behave inappropriately towards me at dealer.com. The culture breeds this kind of behavior, and it needs to stop. Had I known my rights, and felt more confident in my support systems i would have taken all of the steps necessary to ensure that i could feel comfortable and safe at work.

Sexual harassment training for ALL employees. Not just a webinar and a quiz. TRAINING.

Pros

Good pto for salary workers Great coworkers at peer level

Kontras

Completely out of touch leadership Criticism is met with non-answers and platitudes Other positions can work from home but not designers

Listen to your designers and what their concerns are. A table game or lounge chair in the common area does nothing to address any real issues. Telling people that working from home just because you “don’t believe in it” or “other agency’s are successful and their designers never do” is a complete non starter. If you’re not willing to be open to changing your archaic attitude, you’ll be left without the remnants... of the great team who’s stuck around and is already slowly dissolving. Morale collapsed within my small time there, and no real steps were taken to address concerns, just fake meetings where the real point was to quell dissention and not actually make any changes. If you think that only a couple vocal people are concerned about this you are completely wrong. It is brought up a lot around the water cooler, and it really makes dealer a significantly less competitive place to work from other places with more flexibility, especially with the long hours we are expected to put in the first week of every month.

Pros

Amazing, enthusiastic and smart coworkers Benefits package is decent Flexibility of schedule, depending on the team Perks such as gym and food are nice

Kontras

After being on the team for over 3 years, there is no opportunity for growth or advancement. Available jobs are for either entry-level or upper management, there is no in-between roles or steps to help you meet your career goals. Certain teams are expanding so rapidly that it is hard to put a name to a face, especially when turnover is incredibly high. Management is laid back but provides no mentorship, seems like... they are always just chasing their tails. I believe we are back on the right track with recent company and structural changes, but the future still doesn’t look great for individual contributors.

Rat an das Management

Provide real mentorship, career guidance and opportunities beyond entry level roles.

Pros

The culture at Dealer.com is fun and they do a great job with hiring productive team members. Everyone there is very helpful and for the most part, the company is very responsive to their employee's needs.

Kontras

You are often required to work long hours and there is not always an equal split in the workload between team members. But, it's not terrible.

Pros

Great Work/Life Balance Friendly, Caring and Helpful People

With Cox into picture DDC culture is changing
