      Very Unorganized

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is fairly casual, in dress and work hours. Choose the shift you want to work and keep those hours. Time off is 18 day per year that includes sick and vacation.

      Cons

      This place is VERY unorganized. It changes direction constantly. Don't expect a raise your not going to see it. I didn't get a review for a year and a half. They tell you 90 days but I have never seen anyone get a review with an increase in 90 days. Moving to another department is rare and will take at least 2 months to find out if you got the job.

      DrFirst is the kind of place that gives all employees the opportunity to grow, transform, and innovate. Those who are willing to invest into the company find that there are limitless ways to contribute and feel empowered to make an impact. Having a positive attitude and a desire to identify solutions is a core part of being successful here. Our culture emphasizes the desire to be better today than yesterday, and turn over the rocks to examine areas we can improve. We also believe that innovation requires us to be flexible and able to maneuver quickly. Most of our staff enjoy being challenged each day to stretch to their full potential. If you have some specific input, we welcome the opportunity to chat about it. Please feel free at any time to talk to our HR team, or the head of Corp Comm. We certainly believe that perception is reality, so we hope to find a way to help you connect with our culture.

      Great Colleagues and a Forge-Your-Own-Way Culture

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -DrFirst has many dedicated and smart workers. The atmosphere among colleagues is wonderful and is the strongest asset of the company. While the ramp-up period for new employees is longer and there is plenty of product knowledge to learn, other employees are very helpful at answering questions and pointing the right way. -Great learning opportunities are to be had for those who take initiative at DrFirst. While there is always something to learn, people who ask questions, take project leadership, and attend the sometimes-offered optional company-training will learn the most. -Good control over the project field options for your work as an employee. Several times, my supervisor has offered a choice to work on different projects for an upcoming cycle. I felt that my opinion is heard, whether it was wanting to work or not wanting to work on a particular project. -Employees have 9 paid holidays and start with 18 paid time off days per year.

      Cons

      -Work feedback is a precious commodity, as it's seldom given for people taking leadership roles and offered even less when someone is doing satisfactory work. Even more troublesome is that important checks on work are sometimes not recorded or simply not done. -Developers and QA get requirements later, rather than sooner, and therefore, have a smaller stake in their construction and quality. This also leads to scope creep and also often the establishment of unrealistic expectations. Employees will end up working 50+ hour weeks if they don't personally reject and time-manage expectations. Teams don't often do very good long-term planning, and it ends up hurting each individual, with little support or improvement. -Work from Home / Telecommuting is really not an option. Employees are encouraged to be present in the office each and every day or to take paid time off. -Employees were bribed to leave good reviews on Glassdoor.

      Our AZ office unfortunately does not have hot water. We do, however, offer hot filtered water for our employees. For our sales teams we do hold them to standard that requires meeting revenue goals. We give extensive product training, and a long ramp up period with reasonable goals to achieve. We also try to mentor employees on how they can achieve the goals. Unfortunately, not every employee is able to meet our standards. We look for sales consultants who are proactive, enjoy a fast paced environment, works well in a metrics driven position, flexibility, not adverse to change, team oriented, and solutions oriented rather than dwell on issues. We have not achieved exponential growth over the last few years without setting goals and expectations.
