Adam Dorfman & DMC Atlanta

As President of DMC Atlanta, I do my best to make sure our team members are consistently learning, growing, and feeling appreciated. I also make sure to keep up with public opinion of our company as expressed through online reviews and private feedback . In doing so, I have noticed a few trends that I wanted to address here so I can share why we do what we do the way we do it. Sometimes, our upbeat, focused, team-oriented (and a little bit weird) culture is something that takes some getting used to.

DMC Atlanta's Ainsley Linus & Ashley Jarry My all-time favorite thing about working with  DMC Atlanta  is the fact that anyone who works hard sees those benefits AND is recognized for it! Our  Account Managers  receive merit based promotions, and opportunities to learn about management and development if they meet their goals. Managers receive cash prizes and awards for hitting milestones, and Recruiters even receive awards and Tiffany’s jewelry for their involvement in the expansion and growth of the company.  We have an annual conference that all of the Managers, Recruiters, Assistant Managers, and Account Managers attend.

They’re filled with team activities, three-course meals, and motivational guest speakers. Just recently, our 2014 Annual Conference was held at the Hyatt Reg...

From day 1 we knew this was the right place for us. We were excited for a new chapter in life to begin.When starting at  DMC Atlanta  as an account manager , my overall goal was to own a business. Well, with no formal training and not a lot of capital to get started that was a long shot.  So the main reason why I liked DMC Atlanta was because they said that they had an extensive leadership training program where they would teach someone every aspect of running a business - which, of course, lined up with my long term goal of never having another resume again. Needless to say, I was excited to get started. The  management development program  has taught me not only practical business skills but overall how to be a better person.  With everything hap...
