In general, very good to work for, although as with any company, it differs from region to region and your direct supervisors. Known for consistent quality and advances over the long life of the implant side of the business (1974), and even clinicians who haven't used the system don't have anything bad to say about the history or reputation of the company. Overall, if you're going to sell implants, one of the better places to do it.

No such thing as a "great" place to work anymore unless you have millions in the bank and own your company and get to do what you want to do.

Working for "the man" can never be "great".

Working for Dr. Niznick has been awesome. I have been blessed beyond my wildest dreams to have this opportunity.
 








Those in the industry, including those at Straumann, know that Straumann is a snooze-fest. I couldn't imagine spending my precious time working for that over-sized morgue of a company.
 


It was a pretty good place to work. I was fortunate to have worked with dedicated people who actually care about the customer, the team, and the shareholders in that order. It made my sales job a lot easier.
I have worked for worse companies and for better, but there is a reason they call it work. Nothing is perfect, there are no guarantees.
The real challenge is to find out who your upline management team is and see if you can mesh with their management style.

I was part of the those cut. That sucked, because I enjoyed my job. If you are lucky enough to get an offer, seriously consider taking it.

Being "the man" and calling the shots is a lot better than being a cog in a machine. Just ask Niz......or his cogs.

They don't make drugs this good! Or it is day one. Wait for Day 10.
 


so are you people too afraid to say how much a Strauman rep makes?

How about the Implant Direct people?

What are you pulling in these days?

Your companies are so great, you must be making some pretty good money.

I'm looking for starting base salary and the comission plan.

Anyone willing to share this info?

It's just that people don't know who's asking. (medical device recruiters, etc.). Generally, all the top companies pay within striking distance of one another,(50% base/50% commision or so) and there is always benchmarking by these companies to stay competitive in this area. Year to year, there are different payouts to push whatever product they would like increase share in, so you should be able to make low/mid six figures if you're good. Implant Direct and those type of companies don't fall into this structure; there is usually much more risk due to the zero/low recognition of the product and the quality of ther rep they would be able to recruit to try and sell there. The payout could be more aggresive, but the odds of getting to that are extremely low. As always, it's important to investigate your immediate area to see what the possibilities are with a particular product, some regions are easier to make money in than others, due to schools, colleague testimony, current vs. future share trends, etc.
 


It's a good, reputable company in the dental implant field. Problem is that its in the dental implant field. Very difficult industry with many, many players. If you're looking to break into the device world, than it's a good start.
