WELCOME, again, to the AMPLI-Fam and THANK YOU for sharing your initial views of AMPLIFON. Having been with AMPLIFON less than one year also, as your CEO, I could not agree with your views more. People are really nice and we got a good culture of AMPLI-Fam going; plus, the activities we do to make people regain their gift of sound - be it through our corporate store & franchise business (Miracle-Ear), Buying Group business (Elite Hearing Network) and insurance business (AHHC) - is super exciting; especially, with the future of this sector (hearing care) being so bright and full of opportunities. That said, I also agree with you, that all these opportunities come with a big need to prioritize 'what to do' and 'what to stop doing', as we might otherwise do too much and make parts of the company work too much (and, loose focus). In addition, there is always some areas in a business that during certain times of the year have to do crazy workloads (eg Budget Season: Finance etc); which, to some extent, is 'part of the gig' as you might know. That said, I encourage you - with your fresh mind - to look at what is going on and share your views with me on 'where we can do less' and 'where we can do better' to make sure we focus on our priorities and do not waste anybodys time, with matters that are not business critical. My door is always open, as you know ;-)! Thank you, again, for having joined AMPLIFON and, I hope, your positive experiences continue! Yours, Marc

Pros

They provide hearing care solutions to children.

Cons

Just about everything you can imagine. Terrible Senior Leadership, even worse IT department, absolutely no strategy or direction to grow, human resource leader cultivates poor leadership and lack of transparency, is not able to provide honest coaching or feedback. Poor culture that does not foster good communication across the 3 siloed business units. Forbidden to share talent and way too many closed door conversations that create unease and unrest within all levels of the business. Horrible for growth and development and absolutely terrible financial practices.

WOW, THAT HURTS...! "Siloed business units"; "terrible senior leadership"; "terrible IT"; "dishonest HR"; "no strategy"; "horrible for growth" and "terrible financial practices"... that is BAD feedback all around and comes to show that even companies with a terrific growth record and 'best employer of the year' awards can - and, perhaps, even should - have truly critical team members inside! Thank you for speaking up! This type of feedback companies mostly get from involuntary leavers, whilst in your case, I am happy to see, YOU ARE STILL WITH US (despite - allow me to say - being a little surprised that you did not decide to leave AMPLIFON yet, considering you believe people would be "wasting their time" with AMPLIFON) and, I hope, this is because of the rewarding overall nature of our business, i.e. to "give the gift of sound back to thousands of people every year" and you having some HOPE & TRUST that things will improve for you personally, in future. In fact, even though MY personal opinion is that your feedback is not a true reflection of what most people feel at AMPLIFON, it is people like you who are very critical and are having very bad experiences, that can make us aware of things we may not have realized yet. Strength through diversity! So, if you have the courage, I invite you to see me at any time (you know my door is always open) and share your specific concerns in confidence. If you feel uncomfortable with that, I invite you leave me an anonymous letter, on my desk, in which you share the details and backgrounds of your bad experiences. We need to know things, to be able to deal with things. As your CEO, I take your feedback very seriously (which is why I am responding, personally), so give me the opportunity to understand better. Yours, Marc

An Inspiring Place to Work

Pros

Working for Amplifon has been an absolute joyride since day one. I am honestly excited to come to work on Monday morning. I know that I am arriving to wonderful colleagues who deeply care about the overall company objective; bringing the gift of sound to both children and adults. Prior to Amplifon, I had worked in many organizations (both big & small) and nothing compares on any level. With roughly 175 employees in our corporate office, you really feel a closeness among coworkers at all levels across the board. We are lucky to have such easy access to our leaders on the executive team. We have a legitimate open-door policy that allows us employees to speak freely and openly about suggestions/concerns within the company. I appreciated the fact that my direct manager saw my potential prior to my first day in the office. I was told during my interview stage that I would likely be in my role for a total of one year, with a goal of transitioning me into a higher-level position after this time period. They kept their word! I moved into a position that is now helping me reach the goals that I desire and will only benefit my career in the long run. I also admire the candidness of our conversations regarding my future, whether it be with Amplifon or outside of the company. This is just one example of Amplifon’s greatness. My personal journey is not the only one that began this way. Many employees start in entry level positions and branch out within the other business units in our corporate office. Last year, Amplifon even implemented an internal MENTOR program, encouraging employees who have been with the company a minimum 6 months to participate. This offered the opportunity to job shadow other positions within the company, work on leadership skills, or build a strong 1:1 relationship with a chosen mentor. They care about development and want to see each person succeed in his/her own way. My personal opportunities have been endless since my start date. I was encouraged to attend seminars, trainings, store visits, conventions, etc. to further educate myself on the industry. Amplifon is a company that recognizes talent and hard-work. If you are someone who is willing to take the next step, loves sharing new ideas and can accept change (as we are rapidly growing), this is a great company to join. It is a very exciting time to be in the hearing health care field. We are growing. We are expanding our brand name and pushing ourselves as a team. To put it simply; Great people, Great culture, Great overall feel. At Amplifon, I have a purpose.

Cons

Overall GREAT benefits package. Would like to see HSA added eventually.

WOW! THANK YOU so much for your 'inspiring' review. As CEO of AMPLIFON Americas, I will be honest, I reached out to our HR department upon reading your review, to ensure we did not post this ourselves! IT WAS ALMOST TOO NICE TO BE TRUE ;-) I really want to thank you for having taken the time to publicly share your positive opinion. I am also very happy for your progress made within AMPLIFON and wish you all the best for the future also. If you ever have proposals to further improve our AMPLI-FAM; do come and see me... as you mentioned in your review: In AMPLIFON you have access to anyone ;-) Marc
