Pros

Working at Dastmalchi is amazing in so many different ways (hence the reason I have been with the company for 8 years now) To list a few reasons: - Passionate teammates who are incredibly bright, driven and caring. -The products are top of the line products that every consumer uses on a daily, makes life so easy when you are passionate about the products to sell. - A work environment that is flexible and has amazing perks and benefits that truly matter to some (delicious lunches, cakes to celebrate birthdays and achievements, company outings and every day is bring your dog to work day, yay!) - lastly, our CEO Alex Dastmalchi, Alex has a heart of gold and truly cares. He will sit down and have lengthy conversations to get to truly know his staff no matter who you are or position you hold. Alex is present and has become family. His leadership and energy is contagious and simply Awesome!

Cons

-The company has grown at a warp speed -- very minor growing pains. Guess this actually a good thing.

Pros

Dogs are allowed. Mostly just Bruno, but others have asked and been allowed to bring their dogs in. The other employees are great people.

Cons

-Raises don't happen. Don't expect it -If you don't fit into the culture, bye! -Hope you like sales. Its all the company cares about -Upper management are like puppet masters. They do what they want, when they want. Out of stock on an item, don't expect it to be marked as such on our website. Poor customers might wait weeks with no communication from the company. Oh, and the uppers will wonder why there are so many refunds happening, and why customer service is slammed. -There is constant fear of getting let go. Job security is not something that is felt around here unless you are in upper management. - We get paid vacation time but uppers (particularly one) make you feel really guilty for taking time off.

All feedback is welcome and appreciated; especially the type of feedback that exposes areas where growth is needed. We are a performance driven product company that compensates its team based on their achievement of goals; management of KPI’s and overall value to the customer and the company. Raises are given for performance; not based on time worked. Vacation and PTO are encouraged. Life exists outside of work; and we want the team to thrive personally. To address a few of the concerns listed in this review: * “Raises don't happen. Don't expect it” Reviews are conducted monthly. Performance bonuses and commissions are earned for more often than base salary increases. Base increases are discussed in annual reviews and are based on performance. * “If you don't fit into the culture, bye!” This is an interesting thing to say as a negative about an organization. Company culture is a critical element of success everywhere. In a situation where your personal culture does not match the overall culture of the company you will always find yourself feeling stressed and pressurized. This is definitely not unique to Dastmalchi. * “Hope you like sales. Its all the company cares about” Sales of our products to our customers and the impact the products have in those customers lives are why we exist as a company. Glassdoor provides a great way for employees, prospective, current and former to engage anonymously in providing feedback on an organization. We appreciate the opportunity to engage in this forum.
