Pros

The team mates are fantastic. The management staff is very fun at times but when it's time to get down to business, they become mute. The benefits are good, time off requests are typically approved and fairly reviewed. DFS definetly has it's moments to shine...if you are there at the right time/right place.

Cons

It's owned by Dell; when Dell gets dragged through the mud, we do too. Another down side is the competency of the management staff. Most of the managers/supervisors have never been in this type of environment before. Without a knowledge of how this industry works, how do you expect a company to succeed???Also, communication is a HUGE problem. For so long, people would say how the 'rep' would not speak to each other and be very territorial about their job...now, it's impossible to hold a conversation with any member of managment b/c they are all bickering with each other and 'jumping ship'....There is no communication at all!

Pros

Today? A job that helps pay the bills.

Cons

The culture completely changed circa 2022. Layoffs happen every month in small batches, so they are not covered in the news with big layoffs, but the total over the last couple of years is 10-20K people per year. Current employees that I still talk to live in constant fear of being laid off. The salary gap between employees in the same function is ridiculous and discriminatory. As a leader, when I'd raise it with HR, it was never addressed. Had a situation where I was hiring an underpaid employee from another team. I wanted to give her a 60% pay increase just to match what her peers on my team made, and I had the budget to do so. HR denied my request to do that raise and only gave her a 20% increase. They didn't want to send the "wrong message" that she was underpaid before (which she was) or that other employees could expect that level of pay raise in internal promotions (regardless of whether they should). They have to come into the office 5 times/week, even though Michael Dell once made fun of CEOs that didn't adopt hybrid/remote work. Just last week, I had a former colleague resign because the stress in the current environment was taking a toll on her mental health. If you have any other option, I'd highly recommend you don't take a job at Dell.
