Pros
Continuing Ed is paid for
Cons
- Hours are inconvenient for those who have families. More and more practices are requiring 2 nights working starting any time between 11-1pm until 8pm and I've even seen some working until 9am. Clinical people are not appreciated enough for the amount of work they do. Park Dental seems to value their resource people more when clinical team does all the work. - Not only are the hours inconvenient when it comes to working double nights, it's also inconvenient that majority of the doctors work very part time. Who wouldn't want to work less hours? But realistically, who also can make a living when you're only working 60 hours/ 2 weeks?! And the pay you get from park dental doesn't even compensate for the little hours you get. - PTO, PTO, PTO ... doctors go on vacation every month or every 2 months for weeks at a time...you are responsible to find work when they are gone or else you have to use your own PTO just because your doctor wants vacations ... personal time off, vacation time and sick days are all in one. In the past few years that I have worked with Park Dental, I have not been able to take a decent vacation because I don't have enough PTO to do so because i have to use them when I'm not even on vacation. -Maternity leave ... also relating to PTO ... when you have to use PTO for vacations, sick days and just some personal time off ... how does park dental expect for you to even have PTO to help cover for your maternity leave when they only pay 4 weeks of leave and expect for you to cover the rest ... so many coworkers I know that have had to come back to work early and lose bonding time with their newborns because they are running short of money ... and considering that about 80% of Park Dental is made up of women ... they sure don't take care of their women who work hard for park dental. -PRODUCTION! They are all about production... these people just sit at their computers and pile up patients into the schedule not knowing that us clinical people are running around ragged in the back...don't even have a break to use the bathroom or even grab a drink .... we are the first to get to the clinic and we are always the last to leave.
