Great Company - weird executive leadership

Director, strategy

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company is taking great strides to improve culture and DEI. Stores are becoming incredible and the people are mostly incredibly talented.

Cons

There is a ceiling - to get to the executive level you seemingly can’t rise from the ranks rather they bring in largely disconnected and sometimes talentless l/inexperienced leaders (namely Steve M.) the head of strategy is pretentious, lacks grit, and comes from nowhere bringing a cadre of McKinsey lackeys. It is a disheartening experience working close to him.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Team mentality, visionary leadership, productive paranoia. DSG leadership is very focused on looking around corners and making sure we are proactive in transforming/evolving our business to lead into the future. We take competitors seriously and ask critical questions of our business, but believe we are going to win and have confidence/conviction toward growth. We believe the store teams and our DCs are the most important talent in our company. It's not a BS mantra, we really do. We are constantly trying to do the right thing by our people, with an intense focus on what it means to our store and DC teammates.

Cons

Many priorities and we work fast. This can lead to times when we need to re-center and focus on what's important. Leadership does a good job of recognizing this and we do our best to ensure prioritization to avoid burnout.

Does not pay well and no opportunity for growth

Logistics coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

DSG is a very benefit heavy company so if you like pizza parties and a "fun" work environment then DSG is for you.

Cons

The pay is terrible! It's a company that is made up of 80 to 90% lower to middle managers who have no idea how to manage. They bring you on with the promise of growth and opportunity only to weigh you down with work that is way out of your paygrade for "exposure". Then they take credit for your work to look better for the "big bosses". So not only will you not be compensated for your efforts you won't be recognized for your work either. Unless you're EXTREMELY desperate for work I would suggest looking elsewhere.
