Unique work environment - Anonymous employee Dexter + Chaney Employee Review

Great owners and company culture that cares about employees and the clients.

Not many. Could improve on base salary to be more in line with industry averages.

Dexter + Chaney definitely retains employees. Most departments have folks who've clocked in greater than a decade with the company (with more than a handful with more than 20 years of tenure) -- they manage to foster a feeling of family within and between departments. My personal experience with management has been a positive one; I'd describe management as "advocates" of the employees who report to them, with a generally open ear to suggestions, recommendations, and feedback.

Not a lot of wiggle room for lateral or upward mobility, either within or between departments (which sort of creates a "sect" mentality with very locked-down departments). This tends to engender a certain sense of stagnation on the career progression front -- most employees are hired for a particular position within a particular department and seldom move up or out. Even 15 years later. This isn't because employees aren't ambitious or driven -- it's for lack of options. And the fact that the compensation is competitive makes remaining in the stagnant position the.....easy decision. Which means you have plenty of long-term employees who are "here for the paycheck" and less invested in Dexter + Chaney's long-term direction or position in the market. No women share ownership in the company (and precious few women in any position of management). Maybe part of this is a reflection of the tech industry at large, but.................... There are plenty of young, talented, ambitious employees working for Dexter + Chaney with -- really -- nowhere to go from here. No clear career development process, no real path for promotion or advancement -- easy to feel "stuck."
