Pros

Dogs are allowed. Mostly just Bruno, but others have asked and been allowed to bring their dogs in. The other employees are great people.

Cons

-Raises don't happen. Don't expect it -If you don't fit into the culture, bye! -Hope you like sales. Its all the company cares about -Upper management are like puppet masters. They do what they want, when they want. Out of stock on an item, don't expect it to be marked as such on our website. Poor customers might wait weeks with no communication from the company. Oh, and the uppers will wonder why there are so many refunds happening, and why customer service is slammed. -There is constant fear of getting let go. Job security is not something that is felt around here unless you are in upper management. - We get paid vacation time but uppers (particularly one) make you feel really guilty for taking time off.

All feedback is welcome and appreciated; especially the type of feedback that exposes areas where growth is needed. We are a performance driven product company that compensates its team based on their achievement of goals; management of KPI’s and overall value to the customer and the company. Raises are given for performance; not based on time worked. Vacation and PTO are encouraged. Life exists outside of work; and we want the team to thrive personally. To address a few of the concerns listed in this review: * “Raises don't happen. Don't expect it” Reviews are conducted monthly. Performance bonuses and commissions are earned for more often than base salary increases. Base increases are discussed in annual reviews and are based on performance. * “If you don't fit into the culture, bye!” This is an interesting thing to say as a negative about an organization. Company culture is a critical element of success everywhere. In a situation where your personal culture does not match the overall culture of the company you will always find yourself feeling stressed and pressurized. This is definitely not unique to Dastmalchi. * “Hope you like sales. Its all the company cares about” Sales of our products to our customers and the impact the products have in those customers lives are why we exist as a company. Glassdoor provides a great way for employees, prospective, current and former to engage anonymously in providing feedback on an organization. We appreciate the opportunity to engage in this forum.

Pros

I joined Dastmalchi in February of this year as the Product Manager. In the 10 months that I have been with the company, I have witnessed and have been a part so many exciting initiatives/milestones, such as the rebranding of our Hero brand, the onboarding and launch of 20+ products, the launch of a men’s grooming line, our products being picked up by various reputable retailers such as TARGET, and more. Every single person within the organization has a voice, is heard and valued. No idea goes without being considered, and no stone is left unturned. I am valued, and am given the creative freedom to express my talents and knowledge. Our Founder and Co-Founder are a power house and are great mentors and inspire me every single day. Having their own unique personality, each bring so much value, intelligence, drive and VISION to the organization. My peers are all dynamic, and excel in what they do. There is great synergy within department heads and uber collaborative – same vision; we all sail together. And lastly, the supporting staff, they all kick butt at what they do. I personally am so grateful and proud of my team, and have not only learned SO much from them but have seen them evolve in their respective roles significantly. I can’t wait to see them move up as we grow. The growth has been steady yet significant and I CANNOT wait to see where we will be next year today! Stay tuned!
