The Good News is the CEO is awesome,,the bad news is, he may be the only redeeming quality...
Pros
The CEO, Steve Thorne is a true visionary in every sense of the word. He developed the concept of the company and has worked hard over the years to fine tune the organization. He is charasmatic, down to earth and a straight shooter, all qualities I was immediately attracted to .
Cons
Unfortunately, Mr. Thorne's vision (in my opinopn) seems to be disregarded by some members of leadership, or translated in a self serving fashion by others. I often feel Mr. Thorne may not have the most loyal management team when I witness this miscarriage of leadership. There is virtually no Performance Management, Mentoring (for management or employee), except the robotic annual review process. No time investment to the employee. in this organization the dentist is the valuable asset, the other employees are made to feel dispensible. Weeks, weeks and weeks can go by before we see a Regional Leader/Manager in our area... another reason the employees/managers lack morale , motivation or a feeling of value to the company.
