Patterson Companies Reviews

• Stubborn, Old-School, Boys Club Management. • No maternity leave policy. Women are forced to use short term disability, meaning they receive 70% of their salary for 6 weeks. Unacceptable for a large company in 2017. • No paternity leave policy. • Many people talk behind others back when they decide to work from home. Bitterness from long-term employees exists. • Long-term employees pride themselves on not taking vacations, coming into the office during snowstorms rather than working from home. • Misiak, Guggenheim, and Anderson continue to receive millions each year as competitors pass them by. Patterson stock is trailing the Dow by 24% and Henry Schein’s by 100% over the past 5 years as of January 2017. • Salary for corp employees is consistently 10-15k less than market value. 2-3% annual raise is standard without consideration to individual performance. • Manufacturing 1920’s work attitude is heavily present here (time spent at your desk is more valued more than actual productivity). • Some people very resistant to change in the Corp office. • No 401k matching. Employee stock purchase plan requires you to remain with company for 6 years to be vested.

Used to be the place everyone wanted to work. They will soon loose the exclusive with CEREC and HSIC will have access to the North America market. What's on the line? $90M annual CEREC block sales and a virtual LOCK on CEREC dentists. Corporate culture has done a complete 180 in the past year. Top producers have been terminated and accounts given to young, inexperienced reps. MN management is driving the brand into the ground. Reminiscent of Healthco. Schein and Benco will reap the rewards of upper managements mistakes. SAP migration is a disaster. Takes days for clinicians to receive product. Products sent from various DCs and often improperly packaged. Management had blinders on re: corporate dentistry. Just recently rolled out half baked special markets to target corporate segment. Once again playing catch up to Stanley, Jimmy, Tim and the others at Henry Schein. It's a shame Pete F. created an amazing company and now it's imploding.
