DRC (Design Resource Center) Reviews

It is literally like a few personalities are going through a divorce... a bad one. Yelling, trying to pit people against one another, slamming doors, MAJOR egos, back stabbing. They have a backward process with a MAJOR micro-managing style. They will throw you under a proverbial bus in meetings without a second thought. They make you feel completely worthless and suck out whatever confidence you initially had because you aren't doing the job the way they want it done in their head. They won't train you, so good luck in mind-reading. They go so far as to reading drafts of emails before you send them. They try to be a "fun" company, with a "Bring Your Dog To Work Day" and a golf day, but the place is so hostile. And if you don't work from 7am - 6pm, you aren't a "team player". There is no reason people should work past 5:30 on a daily basis.

I have never seen such a micro-managed process. There is so much time spent on managing all the little details that management misses the big picture. There were actually 17 steps to process one invoice. I was hired to do a job but was not allowed to do it because there were so many people resistant to change. The design staff and the account staff are totally separate teams and roles are so well defined that there is little collaboration. Account management is a complete revolving door. They horribly underpay, benefits were terrible (very expensive insurance, NO maternity benefits!) and there is no feedback on your performance. Technologically, all computers were ancient, software was not updated. They had unrealistic expectations on developing new business; it is hard to bring in large new accounts when they do not have the portfolio/experience to support the work. Lastly, I have never seen a company be so cheap...they are truly pennywise and pound-foolish. Overall, a very disappointing experience.
