There is a long way to go
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Social awareness.
- Good atmosphere.
- Flexible working hours and home office.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Salary gaps and different treatment also for people in the same/similar positions or with similar tasks
- Transparent communication, also in sensitive issues.
- Only a very few foreigners on topper positions although it's a company with many foreig employees.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
- Be fair to your employees. I don't see a moral duty of feeling well around everyone on a personal basis, but this company has some good people that are neglected although they really do a good job and have lots of potential. Be sure you don't lose good people by ignoring them or their good performance.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Trinks, snacks and fruits, team and company events. Our office managers care for a nice office where people should feel good.
Kommunikation
Communication can be much better both within and "inter" teams. Some for you relevant decisions are discussed behind your back and sometimes you'll be the last one to know (IF you get to know it). Also some teams tend to think what they do is more important than what you do so they don't consider something might be a problem for some other departments
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Within teams it's better than among teams.
Work-Life-Balance
PlusDent offers a flexible work model but if you want to reach something in the company, get ready to get a call or a text message during your vacation.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
PlusDentals Managing Directors give an extra effort to keep the whole company well-informed on important topics going on. They and supervisors also care for celebrating good results. But they seem to favor some employees over others in a way that it's obvious in many cases (the attention they get at the office, having lunch together, how they care about someone's work etc.)
Interessante Aufgaben
As a fasting growing company it offers lots of room for new ideas and projects. I think it's a reality in most departments.
Gleichberechtigung
As a said previously, some employees seem to be favored and get a promotion much more easily than others even if these others also perform very well. If your supervisor or managing director doesn't like you that much on a personal basis, you'll never get any recognition for your dedication and hard work.
Although it's a company with many foreigners from all sides of the globe, the large majority of teamleads, heads, directors, VCs and C-level people are German. Marketing, Data and International Country Management might be an exception for a company seeking for international expansion.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
PlusDental donated masks to hospitals during the high peak of the corona pandemic. They also donate to an institution that supports children with cleft lip and palate.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Some people get their extra wishes, others can only dream of them. It depends on if managers like you or find your work important. A significant gap in wages of people performing the same or practically the same tasks is real also in this company.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No concrete offers here. Some people may take courses but it's only a few as far as I'm concerned. It's a company that offers employees the oportunity to give feedback to each other's work. It's a good concept but sometimes it's just too much what people write in there and at the end you can't really use much of it to evaluate your progress. Every small negative feedback can be used against you if you ask for a raise or an incentive. Positive ones are mentioned but you hear "you're doing a good job" and that's all.
