      Pros

      Individual contributors and low level management are fantastic. They care about each other, about the customer, and about quality.

      Cons

      Senior management are not self-aware. They don't respect diversity. They say they want people to take control of situations, initiate change, and be open in their communication but then resent those who do. I'm not sure if this is limited to the VP-level or if it goes all the way to the top (Scott).

      Friendly but a little strange culture

      Pros

      Pay is fair and retirement program is exceptional. On the surface the culture is friendly and "family". Mostly genuine, nice people and a nice place to work.

      Cons

      The niceness is forced in a strange sort of Stepford way. No one is allowed to rock the boat, every word out of your mouth must be carefully measured, you take a great risk if you disagree with anyone. The culture will stunt your growth; if that's a problem for you, join but don't stay past the vestment period.

      This company has changed! It is not how it used to be. It is not how it appears in the glossy brochures!

      Pros

      A stable company with a long rich history of innovation. Dental is a great industry to be in with very few real competitors. A-dec products are sold internationally.

      Cons

      Too many legacy processes with departments blaming other departments at every turn. Many incompetent managers from the good old boy network. Very low pay and this company is extremely top heavy. Stay far away! Really too far to drive from NE or SE Portland.
