How are the career development opportunities at Dot Foods, Inc.?

Benefits, job itself is good and gives you experience

No hybrid or remote schedule, pay is below average, lack of growth opportunities

• Decent benefits • A few kind coworkers • Exposure to large-scale operations

• Massively unbalanced workloads – I personally managed over 700 suppliers, while others (even the ones constantly praised by management) had as few as 270. • Favoritism is rampant – advancement is based on who you know or how well you play the game, not how hard you work. • Zero career growth – I applied for internal roles multiple times and was told by a hiring manager that I was “too valuable” in my current position and they’d rather hire externally than promote me internally. • No recognition or appropriate compensation for being overloaded. • Toxic work culture that rewards silence and punishes ambition.

People and benefits were okay

Pay and career growth lacked

Easygoing environment, room to make lateral moves to dispatch or the warehouse if you wanted, quarterly and annual bonuses, somewhat understanding direct management, lots of job options if you’re willing to move.

The job options are mostly at their headquarters in mount sterling, Illinois. The lateral moves usually come with pay decreases. Toxic work environments with lots of gossip that does not get dealt with and senior management even contributes to it. An unresponsive Human Resources department that lacks the ability to facilitate employee conflicts and resolutions. Repetitive work with not much room for advancement within the particular role of operations. Pay is not competitive and does not keep up with inflation well- despite what they preach. You are most certainly not safe in the environment as it can become hostile very easily. The turnover rate is laughable, I’ve never been at a job with so many people coming and going so quickly- with the exception of Amazon. You are truly replaceable at this job, even the former transportation manager Victoria Allison has said this to the drivers.

Great place to work. Family culture, they care about the communities their employees reside in.

Lack of growth opportunities, and experience should be valued just as much as a degree.

Great place to start your career as a sales trainee!

N/A great place to be

Values, culture, training, growth, fair

Employees are asked to own their performance on 8-10 objectives annually which makes highly engaged workers that can sometimes miss the forest for the trees.
