Working at Di Bruno Bros.

Born on 3rd base, act like they hit a triple. That is the perfect description of how this place is run. Di Bruno (DB) is probably the worst company I have worked for, and I have worked at some badly run companies, restaurants and non profits.

His idea of building a culture involves screaming "Welcome to Di Brunos! Happy Friday!". During the holidays he bragged about his new multi million dollar house while us employees (who were promised a holiday bonus) were left with nothing more than expired Christmas cookies after the company saw record sales for Q4.

When it comes to hourly employee reviews managers are encouraged to give their staff low ratings, so that a wage increase isn't given. If an employee is lucky enough to get a good review they are given pennies. In the years I worked at DB the highest hourly increase I ever gave an hourly employee was 38 CENTS!
