Pros

Some of the brightest people I have ever worked with in my life.

Cons

Antiquated technology with no hopes of moving forward despite multiple plans being presented through leadership. No work/life balance for anyone below the executives. Single points of failure all over the board. New ideas are shunned if they do not come from senior management. Even if they would save/earn the company money. More managers than employees. Sometimes resulting in one person reporting to one person who reports to one person. Lack of leadership visibility; If employees repeatedly ask "Where is the CIO?" and no one can give you an answer 99% of the time. You probably need to evaluate how visible your senior leadership is. They preach transparency but things are as opaque as you can possibly imagine. Including, but not limited to, roadmaps that only specific people are allowed to see. The company leans heavily on it's strong performers while it's hard to determine what some people's roles in the company are. Under-performing employees stick around way too long and it puts additional strain on all of the top performers. Senior Management makes inappropriate comments about personnel who are looking for a new career including, "we should hire someone to dig up dirt on people so they won't leave the company." When employees air their frustrations it falls on deaf ears or they try to throw you under the bus. Habitual finger pointing where no one takes accountability for their actions. "Blameless culture" that is anything but. Overall lack of respect for most employees from people in key leadership positions breeds resentment and apathy.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re investing in our technology and systems to make sure we are at the top of the pack. I understand changes don’t always move as fast as we’d hope, but I am confident we are making great strides forward and will continue achieving excellence together. I will take your point about the visibility of the leadership team to our management team. I agree leaders should be readily available and visible, and if there are areas where that should improve, we will improve. Your points about respect are not taken lightly. Every employee deserves and has earned the respect of other employees, including senior management. All of our employees are expected to uphold our core values that include operating with honesty and integrity - and respecting one another is a big part of that. I’m committed to transparency throughout the company, so I appreciate you taking the time to give us this feedback. I will make sure all of our leaders see it. Scott Booker, CEO

Pros

DDS is very nice to work with. You receive enough time with each patient. If you need instruments, there is no push back.

Cons

You work with many older patients which can be challenging to due to the fact that they do not want to lean back too far. Analog x-rays (no digital). Low pay for the area.
