Pros

If you have worked here long enough you can have some freedom.

Cons

Management has no clue what they’re doing. The company seems to be spiraling. Making changes constantly that are contradictions to previous changes. Drs feel undervalued. Employees feel undervalued and over worked. Not appreciated. When they say you are just a number, that’s exactly what you are at align. This company used to feel like a prestigious job to have. Now it feels like a stepping stone. There’s a reason employees continue to leave the company.

Pros

Flexibility, the products, some staff members

Cons

Picture being in Year 10, where the "cool kids" are the management, and only a select few are allowed to join their circle. That’s essentially the environment. Promotions go to people with no relevant skills for the new role, leading to managers who lack the ability to manage effectively. Unrealistic targets are set, and if you present evidence to challenge them, you’re labeled a troublemaker. You might even be told to change your attitude, despite maintaining professionalism all along. They’ll put you on fabricated performance improvement plans if they don’t like you, inventing reasons to justify it. This has happened to multiple people. It’s a cult-like culture where they constantly talk about how incredible they and the product are—while simultaneously damaging your mental health. If they approach you with a job offer, don’t just walk away—run. You might think, “Surely it can’t be that bad. Maybe the person writing this is just bitter.” Normally, I’d say, “Go ahead and see for yourself,” but I wouldn’t want that on my conscience. If you’re unsure, try reaching out to former employees for their honest opinion. That said, many may hesitate to speak openly, fearing legal action—another testament to the culture within this organization.

Pros

Company stock plan Discounted Invisalign Sales training Good people

Cons

Micro management runs rampant. It was normal to track data in 3 different places. PowerBI, Insight, and then in an excel spreadsheet that someone made up. The Territory Managers were tasked with doing way too much and their quotas were set sky high so very few actually earned their on target compensation. Senior leadership cares more about their expensive marketing campaign with the NFL than they do about paying their people. Territory Managers had not seen an increase in their on target compensation in close to 10 years.
