John W. Danforth Co. Reviews

Some coworkers are personal brown nosers to upper management just to get ahead at your expense, you will find out who they are rather quickly. Due to this inter-company gossip culture, it can be used advantageously and allows one to find out many things that the uppers don't want the outer circle to know. Dealings behind the scene occur regularly. You will put 50+ hours a week in and not be compensated appropriately. You can be compensated more elsewhere with 1/2 the headaches if you have the experience. If your not part of a select inner circle, you don't matter. If you make too much money at your position and they can find a cheaper replacement, they will. Almost no company loyalty. A great majority of employees have been with the company less than 5 years should speak for itself. Long term future is reserved for the select inner circle, it almost doesn't matter how well your job performance is, unless you brown nose.

Salaried employees work well over 50+ hours per week and there are definitely not enough employees for the work that is expected to be completed. There is no growth opportunities for women. There are no women VPs and very few middle management positions filled by women with the exception of AP. The gossip situation is horrible. Sexism, misogyny and overt discrimination against LGBTQ is rampant. Actually, if you are a gay woman you are tolerated but if you are a gay man don't even consider applying. The current president could not be considered a motivating factor in any way. Since the death of the former president, he has spear-headed the changes made to upper echelon personnel and there is much unhappiness with the current situation.
