Vantaggi

None. DBPC (specifically its subsidiary, World Index Magazine) is the worst company that I have ever worked for. Period. Just stay clear.

Svantaggi

- Poor Management/ Leadership: Employees would show up 30 minutes late to work on a regular basis, plagiarize, completely screw up their responsibilities while outright lying about screwing up and management would do nothing about it. I suppose they believe that it's easier to stick it out with these employees rather than try to recruit competent employees. - Untrained/ Unskilled employees: A textbook definition of the term, "minimum viable product". Most of the company's staff are untrained and unqualified to be working at a magazine (World Index Magazine). Most of their writing wouldn't pass in middle school, much less at a publication. The administrative staff from DBPC who oversee the magazine are just as clueless and would pretend to understand what I was talking about when I would explain things to them. - Lack of ethics/ standards: Refer to the previous two points. They would put out issues of the magazine littered with errors, articles without the author’s names, articles with the names of author’s misspelled, ask employees to write fake quotes to include in the magazine that are presented as being from the readers, etc. If a profit was being made, that's all that mattered.

Vantaggi

Your experience will depend on which of the 3 offices you're in. The main office is the worst - Big on diversity, barely a white male in sight - Employs many migrants, very multicultural - Some talented, friendly, hardworking staff who are grateful for their jobs. The company is indebted to their loyalty - Managers in other 2 non-main offices are friendly enough - The chance to contribute to a professional magazine (World Index)

Svantaggi

- Whatever the advertised rate, everyone will earn minimum hourly wage for up to 3 months during probation. Then it doesn't get much higher - Punch in/out on timecard. More than 5min late = 15min pay deduction, NO exceptions - Ridiculous practice of calling managers by title then first name (eg. Mr Luke) - No talking in main office or between offices as this is "distracting" - Need to provide a written explanation for absolutely any time off, even leaving 30min early (unpaid) - Had a meeting about only using bathroom in assigned 10min morning/afternoon breaks or 30min lunch! - Culture of unquestioning subservience, out-of-touch practices, no strategic direction, lack of proper training/empowerment. Inefficiency and miscommunication are common - Some managers can show preferential treatment and demonstrate ABSENCE of industry knowledge about some areas they oversee - Lack of clear job responsibilities, demarcations and procedures - Some UNETHICAL practices like falsified reviews, testimonials and customer feedback - Occasional accounting errors on weekly paycheques. No/incompetent explanation and no apology when queried - (NEWER) WORKERS ARE WITHHELD DUE PUBLIC HOLIDAY PAY, A LEGAL ENTITLEMENT. The company exploits workers who fear losing their jobs and won't speak up. Check the numbers, know your rights: see the Ontario Ministry of Labour's Public Holidays site (with calculator)
