Pros

The only good thing about this company was being about to talk to other employees that could empathize about how terrible it was to work there. Walked away with some good friends - who are no longer working there.

Cons

Racism and good old boy behavior was supported from supervisors and managers. Supervisor would commonly insult and ridicule workers publicly. Also my supervisor seemed to be even worse when he as clearly hung over or had shaky hands from withdrawals. Management frequently hire family members who were inexperienced jerks who thought they could then run the place and treat people disrespectfully. Management and workers were routinely unprofessional being rude, cussing, chastising, calling names, talking about one another and more. When I went to upper management they said that everyone complains about management and did nothing. There were no opportunity for promotions. The pay was awful.

Pros

I have worked for DXP for 15 years, and it has been a great place to build a career. The company has consistently invested in my training and professional development, allowing me to gain valuable experience and pursue my entrepreneurial spirit. One of the things I appreciate most is the culture. There is a strong sense of constructive accountability, and employees are trusted to take ownership of their responsibilities. Management has always been receptive to ideas and feedback, and I've had opportunities to contribute to improvements within my local branch. DXP strikes a balance that works well for me: it is highly results-driven without being overly bureaucratic. Although it is a large publicly traded company, local branches often maintain a personal, family-business atmosphere. Employees wear many hats, which creates opportunities to learn different aspects of the business and develop a broad skill set.

Cons

DXP has a relatively flat organizational structure, which can make upward career progression more challenging than at larger organizations with multiple management layers. The company is also not as widely recognized as many Fortune 500 companies. Because of this, attracting and retaining top talent often requires additional effort and involvement at the local level.
