Pros

I started at DrFirst on a temporary contract and didn’t expect to work here longer than the length of that contract. However, after working here a few months and seeing the opportunities for both individual and professional growth I wanted to stick around. I’ve worked at DrFirst for about two years now and I am very satisfied with the experience I have gained. If you are driven, DrFirst is a company that allows you to display your willingness to take on new responsibilities. Regardless of your area of expertise, DrFirst is a company that gives you the chance to showcase the talents you have and gain knowledge in other areas. The dynamic environment, where no two days are the same, always offers a chance to take a leadership role on a project or task. In my time at DrFirst I have had the opportunity to take on new challenges and step outside my comfort zone to learn new things. I have learned to better manage both tasks and people because of the guidance offered to me by management. New and creative ideas for improvements to products or internal processes are taken seriously. I have been able to present new ideas without fear of criticism. DrFirst is definitely a company that encourages innovative, new ideas. If you are creative and driven and looking for a company where you can grow both personally and professionally DrFirst is a place for you.

Cons

Sometimes there can be a lot of red tape to get through to adjust your hours if you want to work extra one day to get off early on another.

Since June 2012 all of our employees now have annual reviews as well as quarterly scorecards to help them with understanding their performance and in goal setting for future career growth. We are also working on better ways to communicate inter-departmentally and work cohesively towards our goals. We believe our pay scale and bonus program is fair and in-line with the industry average, and we also have implemented excellent perks since 2012.
