Behind the beautiful building is a terrible company that lies and misrepresents information to its to employees, and customers. I have listed just a few of the major problems with this awful medical manufacturing company 1) There is zero advancement opportunity. Rarely does anyone move up or into a different business unit. They promise advancement but it is at a snails pace at best. Most talented employees end up leaving for better opportunities with competitors in the market since advancement is rare in this company. It’s sad that competitor companies see people’s talents more so than the company they work for. It’s also a very flat organization. You have the supervisors, and then right to the VP of sales. Of course this terrible business model doesn’t lend itself to advancement since it’s too big of a jump 2) Upper management is incredibly unempathic. It’s ironic because those who run the Care/Sales teams beat into employees heads to show empathy to patients, yet management does not show empathy back. It’s all about the numbers and the bottom dollar. The company advertises on its signs on the floor “Beer Fridays, Home office awards, fun place to work, etc” NOT one of these claims are true though. So it’s a complete slap in the face to loyal employees who put up with all the lies and misrepresentations. 3) In regards to the “Care program” it is simply a sales program hidden under the guise of a patient education program. Employees are held to numbers and paid out monthly bonuses based of “captures” which is just different verbiage for “sales.” The whole department is directly held to a sales quota. So it’s a complete lie and just a way to increase clinic referrals. 4) The company is based in Denmark and Denmark does not have a clue about how to execute sales strategies in the US. You never hear back from HQ in Denmark no matter how many times you email them. They aren’t interested one bit employees quality of life or satisfaction or any ideas for process improvement. 5) Not one supervisor on the sales/consumer teams has a degree in business, or management (much less any graduate degree). So the result is team members with a higher level of education or business insight then the managers themselves. This creates issues because the supervisors do things on a whim, or inact protocols that make very little business sense and employees feel that their ideas are swept to the side

You definitely need to drink the "company kool-aid". The culture is cult like. Extremely unprofessional environment. More inefficiencies that I could ever imagine. They literally pack tiny desks into each floor like sardines; hardly a productive work environment. For the most part, people are very unintelligent and not open to positive suggestions for process improvements. VERY liberal environment. 4+ hours of "feel-good" meetings everyday that accomplishes nothing. The actual Denmark folks seem legit; however, the American operations is a joke. PAY IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST IN THE INDUSTRY, EVEN THOUGH HR REPEATEDLY STATES THEY ARE COMPETITIVE.
