Pros

Market opportunity is great because of patient demand. Margins are really good on the plastic. That's about all the positives and they are very close to the end with competition looming

Cons

Horrendous leadership for years with inability to get things done. It's an inside joke across all departments that this is where your career aspirations die because people aren't developed and promoted- they always hire from outside. Competition is coming and most dentists despise working with this complacent company.

Pros

Potentially exciting company to work for with the mindset of a startup, even after 25 years.

Cons

Management doesn't know how to manage the downturn in volume so they deploy massive layoffs each year to try and make their meager 2-3% increase. In addition, due to the layoffs, they operate with a headcount deficiency meaning that all other employees are expected to work extra to make up for the lack of personnel.

Return to office

Pros

Product innovation Good people (the ones actually doing the work)

Cons

Return to office 5 days. A huge mistake. The office morale is at an all time low and seems like everyone has one foot out the door. There is no benefit to agility or collaboration when 90% of your meetings are virtual. Doesn’t help that there are still a ton of remote senior leaders which clearly have exceptions. Believe it or not we do work on the days we work from home
