i have been reading the posts on this site for quite a while. I have not posted an opinion or fact but I feel I must do that. I worked at Patterson Dental for over 30 years as a sales rep. I left the company before the big stock decline ( thank God).
I was employed during the Frechette/Wiltz era and was thoroughly impressed by who they were and what they stood for. The industry had the utmost respect for them and rightly so.I was worried when the word retirement came out of their mouths. Then the unethical self serving new management came in and they attempted to change the dynamic of what what was working so well....ethics, compassion, concern for customer needs, relationships, and just doing things right. The Anderson, Misiak, Rogan , Guggie (who failed at being President),and Gugino regime came in and.....well we all know the result. It is shameful what these people did and now the management seems to rely on what idiots like Rogan have to say. If there is any one thing I have never heard anyone say is...Boy that Rogan is a great guy. In fact it is the opposite. I feel bad for the loyal employees that have stayed and lost 60+% of their stock and are under Rogan and Guggenheim’s “leadership”. The new CEO and President do not know Dental so I can give them sort of a pass but they seem to be relying on the 2 morons I mentioned above. Sorry for this long post but I felt I had to get this off my chest. BTW.....the BOD is to blame as well. Good luck to all who have stayed and believed.
