I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone, which is a shame. It used to be a great company. Over the past 5 plus years, this has become an extremely toxic work environment from the top down. When I'm sick to come to work, that's a reflection on the company. Dice has seen major turn over in executive management over the last 5+ years, which also is very telling about the company. Plus Dice has promoted a number of unqualified employees into mid-management positions. It is an environment where employees are afraid to speak the truth or they will lose their job. You are encouraged not to have an opinion or to try to make the company better (be quiet and keep to yourself). They want "yes men" only. They have recently started getting rid of people with no notice about every other month, so everyone is on pins and needles that they will be next. I can't tell you how many times I've heard a sales rep say that "I probably said too much. I'm probably going to get fired." They encourage employees not to care; to do what they are told and not give any push back or voice their concerns (even when they have suggestions or solutions to the concerns).
They will micro-manage you and have recently added more oversight to do so. This is an environment where they make you feel worse about yourself instead of better. HR is aware of many of the issues, however at this point employees are just trying to fly under the radar and are afraid of bringing issues forward for fear of retribution.
The sales reps and sales managers are held to different level of accountability. When you can't find a vp level/ manager, there is a good chance they will be in the break room playing foosball, especially in the last 3-4 hours of the day- everyday. There are managers in the office who have coolers of beer/alcohol at their desk. It started as an incentive to have a beer at the end of the month in the last hour of the day. It has snow balled into some individuals drinking longer hours in a day and for multiple days throughout the week. Employees in the main office of Urbandale are being replaced by employees in remote locations and then encouraged by management to write good glassdoor reviews. The good reviews recently have been written by new employees who at the time of review haven't even had time to experience the company culture and issues. If you are one of the "good old boys" , then you can find yourself with a good sales territory, mobility in the company and reasonable sales goals if you are not in this group, then you can and probably will face a poor sales territory with unreachable sales goals, plus find yourself labeled and black balled by these 'good old boys' who are mostly in management.
