Vantaggi

Diventures is an engaging and unique business brand. If you love the water, working there will make you love it more. Co-workers are generally very supportive and facilities are new, clean, and well-maintained. Customers are also typically very friendly.

Svantaggi

I started out really loving this job, but over a few years the work-life balance was non-existent and there was very little support from executive management. They make an outward attempt to nurture career growth and employee development, but there is little, if any, followthrough. There are lots of closed circles of privilege and figurative glass ceilings. Despite continual outstanding store performance the list of duties and expectations continued to increase to the point of sheer burnout. I started out loving this job and really wanted to grow with Diventures, but the my health suffered along with my relationship with my family. If you’re young and single and don’t mind donating lots of extra unpaid hours, this is the place to be. If you’re looking for a healthy job that respects boundaries and fosters growth and engagement, keep looking.

Vantaggi

The founder, Dean, is a stand-up person and I stayed as long as I did because of his vision and values. Those two things, however, get very lost in the corporate structure and never make it to the store level.

Svantaggi

The turnover rates in this company, at least for leadership positions, are very high for good reasons: the impossible to achieve expectations, total lack of support for smaller stores without swim programs, complete disrespect for their full-time employee's family life and time, and "more more more more more" mindset when it comes to the demands of leadership roles. They will push you until you resent all the reasons you were passionate about scuba in the first place. They will give you impossible to achieve budget goals and then withhold the bonuses you were promised when you were hired. They will say whatever it takes to get you to sacrifice every bit of your time, energy, and passion, but you will never get anything in return.

Hello - We appreciate the honest feedback as we are always trying to improve and want Diventures to be a great place to work – for both part-time instructors and for full-time team members, including those in management and leadership roles. We have launched a lot of new initiatives over the last few years, with the goal of sharing Dean's vision and our passion for the underwater world with more people. We recognize each one takes additional time and resources, and weighs on the team. All this makes finding the ideal team structure for each store so important. We’re getting closer to being fully-staffed, but admit that hasn't been the case in several of our locations. Our turnover is down the last couple years and we will continue to invest back in our people. New programs like the Manager In Training (MIT) Program will be expanded next year to help grow our current and future leaders. We are grateful for your 3 years with Diventures. If you want to share anything else, please send me a note at jessica.jarosh@diventures.com. Thank you. Jessica J. Chief Administrative & Marketing Officer
