Pros

Global leading brands with Sonicare and Zoom whitening that Dentists like. Good marketing support and a very innovative company. Great place to get experience so you can move onto something better in the medical/dental sales industry

Cons

Management has set unrealistic sales goals for their sales people which has led to extremely high turnover in the US sales organization. My team has only one person left out of 10 left from when I first joined the organization over a year ago. "It's all about numbers or else" which has led to a toxic environment no matter how unrealistic they are. Management has set unrealistic levels of accountability which has led to a mass exodus over the past year in the sales organization There is very little developmental support outside of your initial training and very little management support with challenges that you may encounter.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
