Vantaggi
The employee stock ownership program that they talk up sounds good. The warehouse field trip was also fun and educational.
Svantaggi
Their IT department had no direction. They had a falling out with a software vendor who then refused to sell them any updates so they decided to replace their inventory system with Dynamics and contracted a company in Colorado to develop it. Then, inexplicably, they hired local .NET developers to basically sit on their hands. Lots of meetings where nothing was accomplished because A) no direction and B) no tools to work with. I was bored stupid. Yet when a blizzard shut down the city for two days and even a Republican governor was telling people to stay home, they expected perfect attendance. Unfortunately, D&H is also one of those companies were a slight change in the wind for even an instant panics them into layoffs. If October Lenovo sales drop by $5, they fire the Lenovo salespeople, only to scramble to hire when sales go back up in November. For all of the talk of a "family" atmosphere, there's no effort made to keep people busy during lulls. Just out the door with you and they fight all unemployment claims because they've earned a poor reputation and higher tax rate.
