Ivoclar

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people and the culture were terrific. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Our goal was to get orders out the same day to the customers. We were dealing with dental products and dentists and labs would need them quickly. So, you can understand when there were problems, that it would be stressful; we needed to get them solved quickly. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great people, good philosophy and very good cooperation. They were dedicated to the customer, not just external but internal.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We would engage in our tasks every morning. If there was an issue, we would have to drop everything to get the problem solved. I was heavily involved with the IT staff; I was the liaison between them and the warehouse.

Ivoclar Vivadent is a great and strong organization within its industry. The product portfolio is diverse and industry recognition is high. In addition, the salary and benefits are great.

However, from an internal culture standpoint, this place is way behind the times. There is no progressive thinking allowed and management "plays scared" in just about every decision being made. Approvals are micromanaged on a level that I have never seen before, and there is a lack of flexibility in terms of work hours and expectations. 

If Ivoclar were to make a few small changes such as allowing employees to work from home once in a while, or have an increased role in decisions without shutting them down before even proposing, it would be night and day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They find a way to balance a family and professional environment very well. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Entry level positions are hard to be promoted from. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is a very large emphasis on culture and a healthy working environment. The lowest guy up to the president is just as approachable as one another. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive at 8, log in and check emails. Once I’ve caught up on them, I begin my work for the day. Workload can be a bit inconsistent but there’s always something to do.

Ivoclar is commited to researching and developing high-quality materials, processes, and results. Every day, we strive to deliver the most reliable, easiest to use products on the market. Placing the highest priority on functionality, esthetics, and durability, our research teams collaborate with renowned international institutes and universities to develop innovative restorative and prosthetic materials and equipment. Geared toward the needs of today's dental professionals and patients, our products are widely recognized as the standard for contemporary dental practice.

A typical day in my position consisted of a mix of cold calling and existing customer management.  Researching customer needs and concerns.  Building sales strategies and proposals based off of previous conversations and market trends.  I learned a lot about manufacturing inside of the dental industry as well as some of the trends, hurdles, and headaches that go with it.

The most enjoyable part of this job were the people inside of the organization.

Very hand off management. Love my colleagues. Very lonely gig. Great products. Complicated compensation plan. Make it difficult to find your client with lack of communication.  Closed doors everywhere - they need to be more forthcoming with information. Travel benefits were taken away and the moral diminish. Goals are set pretty high - makes it hard to achieve and feel good about yourself.  Hope it changes.

IVMI has been a great foundation for my interpersonal and professional skills as a first career after college. I have become a vital part of my team by becoming a power user for SAP. I absolutely love to help others so my day at work is pretty smooth. With the many hats that I wear on a daily basis, one my strongest characteristics is my organizational skills which I have honed at IVMI. The environment at IVMI is very different than other companies I have worked for, although we do our best to work as a team.

Walk threw facility and speak to the night crew to see what kind of problems happen over night and what was done to fix these problems or if the problem was fix at all. Make phone calls to coworker who comes in earlyier than me and see if he has any problem when he came in, check email, check preventive maintenance list and see how much equipment we have to check left for the month.  Go to a lean meeting every morning at 8:00am.

There was never a dull moment in Ivoclar Vivadent. We are exposed to several changes which allows us, the employees, to be more challenged and get out of our own comfort zones. The high requirement for this company moulds us to a better employee, since it is also gives us lot of trainings. The benefits are extraordinary compared to other companies.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing, one sided politics and favoritism abound.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Waiting to hear who's slack you have to pick-up because manager doesn't enforce job descriptions. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Sad, one-sided and creepy.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long and tedious.
