Pros

As someone who has been in the dental field for eight years, I've worked in my share of offices and roles. I'm absolutely loving the family-like feel Tend has. I know, that's a phrase that many dental offices use and it typically couldn't be further from the truth, but at Tend, I'm really experiencing that and it's wonderful. I'm on the orthodontic team but my coworkers are all so kind and willing to help each other out whenever a hand is needed. I'm excited to see what a career at Tend brings, because it's evident from day one that dental IS done differently here. From the moment you (or a member) step into the building, it's a completely new way to experience dentistry- from the aesthetic to the actual employees themselves. The pay is competitive, and some positions receive a sign on bonus so that's nice. There is also a dental stipend for employees and immediate family members so that's another perk. All in all, Tend seems like a great company and I'm very excited for this new oppotunity!

Cons

The benefits seem decent, although the deductibles on both health insurance options are still pretty high. Our location doesn't have free parking for us OR the members, so that's a slight drawback. Also one other drawback is the very short lunch break compared to my shift; 30 minutes for a 10+ hour shift isn't quite long enough in my opinion.

Pros

- Opportunity to build the team for a growing company. - Work with great people who are collaborative, friendly and fun to work with. - Build your skills in the recruiting and sourcing as you work to find great people. - Positive and fast paced work environment. - Growth is very fast, so this could be a con to some people for me it is a pro. Need to be ready to hire at a rapid pace.

Cons

- Benefits are expensive due to company is still small. - Difficult time finding new employees due to many people have not returned to the workforce yet.
