Pros
* The folks in individual contributor roles are good to work with. * The company’s in a good position financial. * DAT has a potential for growth — especially with how much opportunity there is to digitize and streamline processes in the trucking industry.
Cons
* Job security is shaky — there’s an underlying sense that no one’s position is truly safe. * Upper management is extremely cost-focused — raises and bonuses are rare, and there always seems to be a reason to say no. * Leadership feels distant — there's little effort to connect with employees on a human level. * The focus on performance often kills the joy of the work — pressure is high, and appreciation is low. * It can feel isolating — like you're on the outside looking in, excluded or stonewalled from meaningful conversations or opportunities. * Managers are more focused on pointing out flaws than developing talent — there's little support to help you grow into a role that aligns with your strengths. * There’s favoritism — a select few are visibly valued, while others are made to feel invisible, regardless of effort or contribution.
