Pros

Everyone else is unhappy as well so you will not feel alone.

Cons

There is no organization. Everyone goes around in a circle blaming each other. You will actually be told that the company does not care about the customers being upset because they will just focus on going and buying the competition. There is no leadership especially in Customer Service. The current management team has never been in any form of management prior and that is visible by the lack of focus and lack of accountability. You will be much more successful at finding out what is on sale at Kohls than when the manufacturing team will have product ready or the warehouse will actually ship an order. My experience has been when seeking answers to an issue that sadly the reply is based more off of how upset the customer is instead of an answer to find an overall solution so more customers would not become upset. The management team at this company has made me see that leadership is not something everyone has within them and that some people should say no to leadership roles because you are ultimately hurting the people who you depend on most; especially when you show lack of concern, lack of empathy or lack of interest.

Young "NON" Innovations

Pros

*Decent Benefits *Exposure to many internal areas of the dental business (i.e., manufacturing, forecasting, etc.)

Cons

*Complete managerial disconnect from the top down. *Foul mouthed CEO Dave Sprout is intentionally shielded from the daily and ongoing internal strife and never ending issues plaguing the Young Dental division. *Consistent quality issues plague the dental divisions *Customer complaints about lack of quality and meeting confirmed ship dates result in many individuals babysitting other team members in order to maintain the business and prevent current customers from going to competition *The upper management "team" consists of a few talented individuals who know the dental business, however, with so few talented individuals within the organization, open positions are filled with any knowledge including the skill set needed to make any positive impact *Revolving door in manufacturing as a result in quality problems never being resolved. Management replaces managers with their hand picked replacements with the belief these problems can be fixed *Lack of professionalism from top management; backstabbing of other employees and never ending blind emails going back and forth *Trying to build a portfolio of dental companies that have absolutely no direction once purchased. *Nothing about this company is "Innovative". Competitive product is simply reverse engineered with a new twist and brought to market as the latest and greatest, only to fail in the short and long term.
