      Great overall environment with a focused mission to improve the oral health of all. Innovative, yet casual with a good work life balance.

      Cons

      Growing pains can sometimes lead to unnecessary challenges. Interaction between departments and/or locations is not always the best.

      Advice to Management

      Continue to focus on your core asset - the people that make DentaQuest great. Invest in technology and innovative methods of improving insurance and oral healthcare.

      Pros

      The benefits and PTO are great. There are promotional opportunities after you've been in your current position for 12 month.

      Cons

      Rigged dept to work in. There isn't a lot of flexibility. Some of the employees in this dept are not easy to get along with, which can make your job unpleasant. Only certain areas can work remotely.

      Advice to Management

      Don't micro manage. If someone isn't doing what they are expected to do, deal with that individual and not assume everyone behaves the same.

      Pros

      Great supportive peers who are willing to help each other navigate the treacherous waters of DQ. There is growth opportunity if you want it. Health benefits are good but expensive.

      Cons

      DentaQuest wants to change its culture- start with strong leaders. Strong leaders build strong teams- they motivate, support, coach, and get the best out of people. There are a number of leaders- some in very senior roles - that don't lead. They degrade. They are borderline bullies. They lead with fear and threats rather than support and direction.

      Advice to Management

      If DQ is going to change, senior leadership needs to look in the mirror and see the senior leadership team looking back at them. Do you consider these people strong and good LEADERS?!

      Pros

      They try to meet minimum market threshold with salaries and benefits to attract talent

      Cons

      The obvious planting of 5 stars by management. Reads like management 101 rather than true leadership. A toxic bullying and passive aggressive culture.

      Advice to Management

      Look in the mirror you Are not leaders . your interest is in the bonuses you derive. Boston globe article says it all.

      Pros

      Near MBTA and river
      People will always have tooth issues and know the Delta Dental brand name

      Cons

      Operations run using heroic efforts against a deadlines ignored until they become critically close, and duct-tape rigging - fellow worker's job at one point was manually re-typing information from one system to another. It felt like we were rowing a Roman galley sometimes instead of a finely-tuned machine.. Po

      Advice to Management

      The business is people handling customer calls and being able to see problems or areas to get better. Why is it impossible often to even get a report put together without waiting months?

      I have been working at DentaQuest (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      I have worked for many companies and non compare to DentaQuest. They really focus on helping their employees succeed. If you start struggling at work you dont have to be affraid. They set you up to work with people to fix the problem and do all they can to ensure you succeed. The benefits they provide are unmatched. You get all your benefits the day you start including insurance. 4 weeks PTO to start. They pay for you to have short term and long term disability. And to top it off they always do little things to show they appreciate your hard work. We are always getting catered meals or little snacks with big thank you emails.

      Cons

      The company is growing fast and they aren't quick to hire right away. Mandatory overtime for months.

      Advice to Management

      Keep it up!! I have zero complaints about management. They are outstanding.

      Pros

      None really. Casual atmosphere and culture.

      Cons

      Everything. Backstabbing, scapegoat...cya is the name of the game.

      Advice to Management

      Hire team leads who have the ability to lead. People in PEC tell you to do it one way and then ask you why you did not do it another way. Develop written procedures.
