Challenging atmosphere daily!
Sr. Media National Recruitment Consultant (Current Employee), Melville, NY – April 18, 2013
Pros: work from home office
Cons: weekly deadlines
The hardest part of the job is convincing the clients that Employment guide is THE BEST option for their hourly-to mid management recruiting needs. Its not as well known on the East coast as it is in the mid west part of the country

Unbelievably unfair treatment
Sales Executive (Former Employee), Norfolk, VA – March 19, 2013
Pros – It was a great job, very stressful, but if you are strong enough to tolerate the constant transitions, management changes and lack of support, a decent job.

Cons – I was fired after 7+ years for a harmless prank, having never received a verbal or written warning, in clear violation of their stated 3-strikes policy. I was top sales revenue rep – more... for 3 years in a row of my tenure, yet Dominion denied my unemployment benefits, denied payment of 82 unused vacation hours and had my medical benefits immediately cut off. Although I was terminated, another co-worker who had made extremely crude remarks to me for over 6 months, who had been written up for sexual harassment previously, is still employed at Dominion.

Everyone is afraid for his/her job, and there has been an active policy of terminating employees and also sought to eliminate anyone on disability because they are "sucking the life out of the company."

Watch your back -- no one will stand up for injustice of terminated employees. People are promoted based on being a white male who spends an hour at the gym and another 30-45 minutes eating lunch. Coworkers who can't even get to work on time are promoted to management positions -- what a joke.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop promoting unqualified people to management positions. The Employment Guide is a sinking ship, desperate and in constant flux -- get involved in what is really going on and the people who made EG a success. – less

TallahasseeJohn – April 5, 2013

It's interesting that a top performer (as you say) would be summarily fired..in my experience that's a sign of a company mgmt that is threatened by people smarter and better than they are...and they hire to their own low levels of brains and understandings...sorry it had to happen to you..but it was a good wake up sign for me.

Most rewarding place I have ever worked!
Customer Service Rep (Former Employee), Norfolk, VA – March 14, 2013
Pros: room for promotion
Cons: overtime was not an option
One of the assets of working for Dominion is that I was allowed to work my skills without being constantly reprimanded when mistakes were made. It allowed me to get the tasks done and learn new things about the job responsibilities that were provided on a daily basis! Everyone worked as a well oiled machine, with nothing lacking!

Fear Management Resides hear!
Sales Executive (Former Employee), Portland, OR – February 27, 2013
Pros: pay
Cons: poor middle management, minimal hands on training all internet driven.
The pay was very fair but the management was never satisfied with one month you're a hero, the next you better step up or you're done!
In this economy, previous home owners forced out of their homes due to job or income declines are now looking for apartments to rent. It's a landlord market which means it's difficult to convince Property Management – more... companies that they should advertise even though they're 98%+ occupied. I've always understood quota but this company has little tolerance for show times in a commission based environment. Don't get too comfortable and keep your resume active. It's unfortunate that they don't see sales employees as trained assets that will have bad months but can't demonstrate their ability to rebound due to being terminated after only two slow months! – less

The worst company I have ever worked for
website specialist (Former Employee), norfolk, va – January 29, 2013
Cons: terrible management and pay
The management are incompetent and unprofessional in the extreme. This company pays well below industry standards. They operate on a high turnover model. I worked here for 6 miserable months. The only pro about this place.is that the day you leave is awesome! I would recommend only taking a job here as a last resort.

No Room for Advancement Whatsoever
Finance (Current Employee), Norfolk, VA – January 14, 2013
Pros: good work life balance, enjoyed community sponsorship
Cons: no room for advancement, poor pay, poor management oversight
During my review, I received outstanding marks and was told I went above and beyond my assigned duties and tasks. However, I was later told that I was not eligible for a promotion "although deserved, there is no money in the budget."

hostile environment
Product Manager (Current Employee), Norfolk, VA – January 12, 2013
Pros: nice location (norfolk, va), decent starter job
Cons: "boy's club" management, pay, culture
Decent starter / entry level job but a horrible place for a career. Management openly jokes about firing employees, raises over 3% have to be approved by CEO, benefits stink.

Dominion Enterprises was good company to work for.
Accounts Payable Clerk (Former Employee), Norfolk, VA – November 27, 2012
Pros: the company provided online training for the workers.
Cons: they did have a good health care program
A typical day includes processing contractor and refund payments for various cities. Processing mail for the entire dept and auditing invoices for payments. Also did store fees.
I learned to process consolidated bills and audit invoices through a program called Apptricity.
Management did not hesitate to help when needed.
My co-workes were nice and friendly – more... people.
The hardest part of the job was being laid off
The most enjoyable part was when the company took us to a Christmas Play and then lunch last year. – less

Opportunity for advancement.
Asset Management Assistant - IT (Former Employee), Norfolk, VA – September 16, 2012
Pros: great management, learned new skills, able to utilize the skills i obtained from my it degree
Cons: other management not honest with employees
From the skills I already had, I learned more on how to be a Marketing Coordinator when two of my departments did not have one for a while. It was very exciting, and along with my administrative duties, there were many weeks of working overtime to complete certain projects. The manager I had there was one of the best managers I ever had in my years – more... of working. – less

Poorly managed and overspending management
Graphic Designer (Former Employee), Norfolk, VA – July 19, 2012
Pros: free coffee and you're generally surrounded by nice people
Cons: management takes no accountability, has no integrity, popularity contest
Stay away. They are in process of selling company. Very high employee turnover rate. When people leave the company, their positions are not filled in a timely manner causing extra workload to everyone else as a whole. Upper management lacks experience and blows a lot of smoke.

Slow, low morale and nonexistent opportunities for growth.
Job Processor (Current Employee), Bothell, WA – June 5, 2012
Pros: flexibility
Cons: health care, wages, accessibility
I was hired to process credit cards and run accounting reports. The first few years were good. Now they've restructured and I am limited to only auditing and running some reports. I've learned more about Excel on this job. Management could use improvement in this particular office, and management overall in general would be average.

Poor Senior Management
Director (Former Employee), Norfolk, VA – April 10, 2012
Pros: good staff i worked with for the most part.
Cons: poor senior leadership, self rightious ceo
When the CEO enters a meeting, takes off his shoes and puts his feet on the table in the Board Room, and proceeds to pontificate, well, need I say more!?
