Dover Saddlery reviews

There is a large warehouse full of workers and also some spaces for finance, ecommerce, customer service, IT, accounting, etc, which is where I worked. The office space is cramped and filthy with limited broken office furniture and supplies. The corporate structure was flat, with three old, white male owners and their entourage of hangers on at the top, everyone else was at the bottom. Corporate culture was nonexistent. Professionals sat working silently, heads down ...all day. Most were afraid to break for lunch and there was an overall attitude of disapproval if people took a sick day, or dared to use all of their meager vacation. It was also expected that you would be available 24/7 even while on vacation. You were expected to be in the office, on time despite a snow state of emergency and regardless of being able to work from home. Every year it was mandatory for ALL employees to work Friday, Saturday, Sunday after Thanksgiving from 7am to 7pm doing inventory in the warehouse. There were no exceptions (8 month pregnancy included), and no compensation for this work. There was a lot on frustration with the three owner's lack of knowledge when it came to current technologies and modern management styles. There were a handful of positive, optimistic people (who have since left) but overall the prevailing mood was one of depression and defeat.

Upper Management seemed to change often, but it seems like there's finally some good knowledgeable people. Not sure if that's an actual con though..
