You have to sell - Registered Dental Hygienist bei Aspen Dental: Mitarbeiterbewertung

I started at Aspen Dental 5 and a half years ago thinking it would just be another job—a transition while I figured out my next step. But from day one, I was genuinely impressed by the culture of patient care and how much everyone truly cares—not just about the patients, but about each other as well. Since joining, I’ve grown both as a person and as a professional. The opportunities here are endless, and you are always surrounded by leaders and mentors who are willing to support and guide you. There have definitely been challenges along the way, but during those difficult times, I’ve always had the support of my leaders and mentors to help me push through and keep growing. I started as a lab technician, worked through different roles, and today I’m in a leadership position where I get to help other lab techs become better versions of themselves and achieve their own goals and dreams. That, to me, is one of the most rewarding parts of this journey. If you’re just looking for a place to work, Aspen Dental can be a good option. But if you’re truly looking to build a career with an organization that cares about you, invests in your growth, and gives you the tools to succeed, then this is definitely the place to be.

- Sometimes case be stressful

My only pro is that I learned what I don’t want/need in a work environment

Imagine busting your butt for a company, turning numbers around, dealing with nonstop staffing issues, impossible production expectations, patients screaming, corporate pressure, doctors with zero communication, staying late constantly, fixing everyone else’s problems… just for them to quietly post your position online before even having a conversation with you 💀 No write ups. No coaching. No transparency. Nothing. Like if there was an issue, why not act like adults and communicate it? Instead they move shady behind the scenes while still expecting you to carry the office on your back every day. And the craziest part is they LOVE preaching “culture” and “support,” but the second metrics dip or leadership changes, it becomes survival mode and everyone starts protecting themselves instead of their teams. I learned SO much there and honestly became way stronger professionally because of it, but the environment is genuinely exhausting. Everything revolves around production numbers and optics while managers are burning themselves out trying to keep offices afloat with barely enough staff or support. Also the fact that they expect office managers to basically be therapist/recruiter/babysitter/HR/financial coordinator/firefighter all at once for pay that does NOT match the stress is insane 😭 Like I’m sorry but posting someone’s job before even giving them a conversation is such a gross way to handle employees. That alone told me everything I needed to know.
