Pros

- The company starts you off at a decent salary. - Major Holidays off along with weekends (assuming you don't work for ROC and your department is not behind) along with an open environment in national support. - Big on charities and volunteer work. - There is room for a little movement up in career.

Cons

- PDS preaches these we believes like it's a new religion, yet they never follow through with it. It's all just a dog and pony show until you see the stuff behind the scenes. - Employees who worked there for years and helped build them to where they are now are viewed as expendable in terms of treatment, compensation, and career advancement. New employees/managers are hired on and given high salaries while others who worked hard for years hardly see even a dollar. - Upper management and their egos are running rampant along with being "corporate". - Work politics and red tape everywhere! An example is an employee from the ROC cannot even get a chance to go to another department because ROC management will prevent any of that. They would rather have the employee quit than for them to help the company in other ways. It's pathetic and has gone on for awhile, but PDS allows that behavior to occur within their management. - The company tries to push this religious agenda yet the practice they do with the way they view employees and patients is garbage. - People do not trust HR because they will always backup management and never resolve the issue which is why upper management is always there and never reprimanded. - PDS also pushing for retail managers to become the office managers which means more sales pushing instead of actual genuine dental care for patients. In the end, it's all about the money.

Pros

Great organization and an amazing culture. The heart of service is truly at the core of all we do. Team members are treated fairly, and there is a tangible focus on recognition, learning & development and overall investing in the individual. The focus on the mouth-body connection isn't a corporate slogan - it is lived out every day truly resulting in healthier, happier patients.

Cons

As with any large organization going through significant changes and growth, it isn't always possible to ensure everyone embodies the culture and 'We Believes' of the organization, but there are controls and safeguards in place to truly foster our culture. Overall, no organization is perfect, but PDS Health is a thoroughly decent and genuine company to work for where there are no real limits to your growth and career aspirations.

Pros

Recently, I had the honor of celebrating my 15th year at PDS Health. I am still here due to the strong ethics and values this company holds. During COVID, I saw our CEO express vulnerability, compassion, and honesty, make hard, difficult decisions, but led us through a tough time, still prioritizing patients. Through my many years at PDS Health, I have held roles of Healthcare Coordinator, worked my way up to Operations Manager, then promoted to Regional Trainer. Most recently, I was promoted to Career Specialist (Recruiter) and have held this role for the past three years. As I stepped into my 15th year, I was honored with a Tenure gift – a weekend stay, plus flight, at a PDS Health company property. This happened to fall on Valentine's Day and my wedding anniversary this year. I am honored to work with a Team that does not hold achievements such as Tenure lightly and celebrates and honors achievements. Last year, my Team had a phenomenal year. We hold the value that “we fail and succeed together”. The Region grew, and the new doctor hires that our Owner brought into their private practices gave cause for celebration! My role as Career Specialist focuses on the sourcing and initial assessment – the candidate “quarterback”. I could not have been more surprised when my team nominated me for an “Extraordinary Performance” award, specifically as Regional Support to our Owners, Regional Managers, Directors, and Partners. We have now grown to over 15,000+ employees, so being nominated for these awards is rare, and winning is even more shocking! As a winner, PDS Health sent my sister and me to Las Vegas for another all-expense-paid trip to celebrate. Additionally, as a winner/nominee in this category, I also received an additional all-expense-paid trip to “Pinnacle Club” in the Bahamas! My husband and I just returned from this amazing trip, and I am still in shock and awe of what a blessing and honor it was. Having been in these rooms –XP Awards & Pinnacle Club - I took a step back to view the room, surrounded by top-tier talent, where the number one goal was to create healthier, happier patients. I could not be more thankful to be in a Company who regards values and ethics, patient care and satisfaction, and that truly leads vs. manages others. Recently, we changed our name from Pacific Dental Services to PDS Health, as we now have offices that are both medical and dental, fully integrated, caring for patients’ whole-body health. It is amazing to see patients’ lives transformed and lives saved by our compassionate, amazing Providers who are educating patients on the link between the mouth and how it affects the body. Pros – this is a company that values its people, gives opportunities to grow, and celebrates the wins – BIG TIME!

Cons

I should have applied sooner!
