Toxic Environment, Outdated Culture, Low Pay - werkgeversreview Analyst bij Dart Container

-Very high turnover, especially in the Marketing Management department. The company prides itself on the long tenure of its employees, but most of are plant workers. Over two thirds of the department had been then for less than a year, and the cycle of turnover showed no signs of slowing. -Time Off: Due to the way in which work is distributed, Analysts develop specialized knowledge on their accounts, which means that they cannot cover for eachother. This makes taking time off very difficult. If you get your time off request approved (emphasis on "if"), you will still have to make up the hours because work has accumulated while you were out. Overall time off allocation is average to low. -Work/Life Balance: The workload is regularly overwhelming, and deadlines can change at a moment's notice if a customer makes a request. In addition to the volume of work, you are held to a 90% accuracy standard. Workbooks used often contain hundreds of calculations. If a single cell contains an error, no matter how insignificant, it goes against your accuracy standing. Many of these workbooks are inherited from previous analysts due to the high turnover. If the previous analyst made an error, it still goes against you. I'm all for personal accountability, but it can be paralyzing. Due to the high workload and premium on accuracy, expect to work long hours with very few breaks (even if they tell you anything to the contrary in the interview). Most analysts work least 50-60 hours a week, which makes the low salary levels even worse. -Low Morale: Almost everyone is constantly stressed. Your manager will be constantly stressed too. It wasn't unheard of for people to be crying at their desks.
