Vantaggi
The only pro I saw - The Head of Merchandising was genuinely supportive and encouraging of everyone around her.
Svantaggi
This company is built on a bullying culture. Unless your face ‘fits’, you are a power mad narcissist that likes throwing everyone around you under the bus to get ahead, then please, please avoid this company at all costs. I experienced so much bullying from the people who had been there their whole career and were jealous of new employees coming in. My mental health was seriously affected and I would work 12 hours days and go home crying every evening. Before joining DCK I had previously had 10 years experience in the buying industry and never experienced anything like it before. The turnover there is so high and it’s obvious why. Regular ‘Progression meetings’ were held by the buyers to discuss the progression of each of their team members that they managed. - the discussions weren’t based on how skilled their BAA’s or AB’s were at their jobs, but whether they had the right ‘pretty girl look’ and if they sucked up to them by opening doors and making cups of tea etc. It was truly shocking. A handful of people were lovely who I still keep in touch with even now and they all left DCK not long after I did as were treated so badly. We still talk about our dramatic experiences there even now.
