Pros

Free coffee, dental benefits are pretty good after 13+ months of employment, however when you ask to use your benefits you get a guilt trip because you are taking up time that they could be making $$$$ with their dishonest tactics with patients and insurance companies. Or you even get push back when trying to ask for a vacation months in advance.

Cons

The training they provide is a joke. They have one person who is the regional trainer for multiple states for my position(which is the case for most positions in this company.) Training classes consisted of listening to the individual go on about their personal life as well as giving us information that didn't match the teachings of our (outdated) modules. Operations Managers are thrown into an office with NO training and most times with NO dental background. They mainly look for individuals with retail experience because you have been trained to up sell product and persuading others to purchase product. What does this tell you?!? This company does not care at all about their employees. EVERYTHING falls onto the Operations Manager. Employees and Dentists (Yes, even OWNER dentists) are constantly belittled and have no say on anything! If you are not producing the goals THEY set, you as well as the region are emailed 10+ emails DAILY about how your office is failing. They don't coach people on how to fix problems they tell you to figure it out and if you don't you are gone. But before they fire you they try to get you to quit by making you feel worthless, (seen first hand.) Advice to patients READ EVERYTHING YOU SIGN!! They overcharge everything even if you have insurance. We are taught to charge a certain fee even if we are contracted with your insurance to charge a MUCH lower rate. They get away with this because of what they have you sign. And you will probably notice you need 0 fillings but 8 crowns with 2 onlays... this is yet another dishonest thing they constantly push for.

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!
