How many times have you thought:
We’re competing with McDonald’s. The pay is similar and you HAVE to be responsible for someone’s life.
I’m wasting a lot of time and money training new DSPs who quit in less than 6 months.
Our overtime costs are at an all-time high and our good DSPs are burning out covering extra shifts.
You will continue to struggle with recruiting and retaining DSPs until you get your own DSP Magnet in place.
