RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at DentaQuest full-time for more than a year
Pros
Positive environment - people seem happy to work here. I think a lot of employees really take the mission and values to heart, and work everyday to keep our customers safe, and improve availability of oral health to those who wouldn't otherwise have it. Leadership is working on increasing transparency to keep the whole company involved in changes. If you work hard, your commitment is appreciated and rewarded. Management really appreciates their employees, and show that whenever possible.
Cons
Technology is a little behind. However, the IT team is working very hard to get our teams on updated and integrated systems. Not everyone communicates in the same way - sometimes meetings and chats are difficult because some teams or people don't utilize the technology we have available. There are not a lot of opportunities to get to know coworkers outside of work. There are a lot of opportunities to meet and mingle in the office, but once or twice a year getting out and doing something different would be nice.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at DentaQuest full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Decent starting pay, somewhat flexible in terms of hours/time off
Cons
Managers look down on working from home, bonus/raises are bare minimum but company will consistently tell you about all the money they've made/new business they've acquired, no IT updates - very behind on a lot of software and hardware, communication within teams and between teams is either not there or not very good when it is - you will get contradicting answers from people on the same team constantly, people are always passing along work to get it out of their hands and not have to do it. Managers do not show any recognition of achievements/going above and beyond, they treat you as if you will be in the same exact position the rest of your career, don't believe the managers even know what training and development are as they don't train you either, you get training from your coworkers, so sometimes you get wrong answers or "that's just how we do it" or they'll withhold info to "keep their place. " Since so many people have been working there for 15+ years it has a high school feel to it as there's cliques, including the managers - so everyone works under a different set of rules.

"A Few Missing Pieces"

No opinion of CEOI have been working at DentaQuest full-time
Pros
DentaQuest is a good company to join out of college - especially if you want to work in the healthcare or insurance industries. My salary is higher than average when compared to my peers in similar fields. Their benefits including their 401K package, healthcare plans, and tuition reimbursement are pretty good to great. I am exposed to a lot of rapidly changing pieces of the healthcare industry, but there was definitely a few things missing. The organization felt disorganized or so large that the mission and focus appeared to be lost. To break it down there is DentaQuest Care Group, DentaQuest Foundation, the Commercial side, the Exchange side, the State Plan / Government side, etc. It just didn't feel like one complete DentaQuest.
Cons
The company continues to focus too much time and energy on growth rather than streamlining internal processes. As they continue to grow, which is great, even further stress and strain is placed on internal processes not equipped to handle increasing loads. The departments are siloed and the teams feel disengaged from one another. This is exemplified as DentaQuest continues to grow but, to me, their main employee hubs in Milwaukee, Texas, Florida, and Boston continue to feel disconnected from one another. Long story short, the benefits and pay were good. The experience was okay at best. Proceed with caution when it comes to company culture and job fit.

Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at DentaQuest full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Good Benefits, informal setting, allows working from home a few days a week, great people(peers)
Cons
Negative climate, too many director level managers who expect a lot but provide little positive feedback or acknowledgement, managers that drop down to the "worker" level and make changes without any communication undermining the employee. Has forever been a place that struggles with communication across and within departments.
