Pros

As a TM, there’s no cold calling. The product is a money maker for general dentists. Orthos know it’s the future but are hesitant. It’s a really fun sell

Cons

- Corporate each year changes comp plan to make it harder and more complicated to make commission. Your doing well if your hitting 90% to plan. Potential to make money like it used to be is near impossible. They are hiring more to face competition and paying less. - Regional mgmt is terrible. Bully type methods with lack of experience, no coaching experience and no general business acumen. - Expecting more and more for less, trying to push out higher paid experienced TMs out for cheaper labor - Advancement opps always go to outside candidates with no experience - Competition is coming out hard, fast and cheap

Pros

High base salary and stock prices continue to rise

Cons

Does not allow for work/life balance. Ideal candidates are single with no children and little outside interests/hobbies. Very heavy workload and unreasonable expectations. Work is pretty much non-stop and everything carries a fire-drill level sense of urgency. Vacations must be accrued over the course of the year...a direct reflection of how little work/life balance is valued. Very stressful work environment.

Pros

Nice People, Innovative Product, Neat Technology, Great R&D foundation. Great place to learn leading edge technology if you are in the R&D space.

Cons

Too many to list: (in the non R&D Depts) Highlights: Inexperience management team in various support depts. due to promotions based on nepotism instead of experience. Roadmap for the past two years is a moving target due to lack of strategic planning. Projects stopped halfway to be replace by more important projects. This is expensive and caused confusion. No accountability on results and ROI. Incoherent and un-scalable business solutions developed due to lack of experience. Resistant to change due to fear of loss of territory and loss of power without consideration on impact to the company.
