A lot of talk but not enough action - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso DIRTT

Although the people that work there are wonderful people, sometimes "wonderful" people do not make great managers. There is no structure at DIRTT. That leads to no personal evaluations, which leads to not many raises. Although the company boasts advancement within the company, promises are made and suddenly "forgotten". At moment of hire, I was promised four weeks of vacation once I hit my 5 year mark. However, once I reached that mark, I was told that no one gets four weeks vacation. I was also promised a position in my department of choice once an opening was available, but again, management does not remember once the time came. As with any office, there are politics. Management will promote each other and hire their friends regardless of qualifications or skill level. There is not enough collaboration between departments or support so there is a lot of needless duplication of work and documents. The company is anti-structure which is great for a go-getter type of mentality, however it leads to a lot of chaos and scrambling, and creative types that come up with great ideas but show no appreciation for the individuals that do all the hard work that make it happen. DIRTT can also be a boys club. Sexist jokes are made all the time but are mostly fun and games. However this mentality can keep a female from getting an appropriate pay raise. Depending on who your manager is, a woman may not get a raise based on the fact that she cannot make more than the manager's significant other. Do not take this the wrong way. The OWNER is an amazing and considerate man, albeit a firecracker with extremely high expectations. It is the management of the company that has made key employees incredibly jaded and the cause for high turnover in the company.
