-they keep changing their policies and their employee handbook which is frustrating.
-for assistant you have to accrue your pto and sick time which sometimes is hard if at the night shift you don’t have patient at the end of the day or if you live early one day or if you get sick one day.
-they take out 30 minutes break of your time card even if you took a 10 minute break
- they don’t want you to get any overtime but they let people they like to have everything they want (overtime, a week off, their own schedule)
- in our office we have favoritism by our manager which is not fair at all
- they never appreciate your hard work not verbally and not in any other way
- no holiday bonus and no holiday party
- for dental assistant week they gave everyone a mug which they took from us at the end of that day!!
- they give some of the assistants more responsibility but they never get paid more
- hard to get a raise if at all possible
- worst schedule times, you have to work every other weekend which is 7.30-5 when usually dental offices only work 4-5 hours on the weekend. For the rest of the week you are either working 6.30-3 or 12-8.30 which sometimes you have to close and open the next day
- the management has no related education ( high school diploma) and no experience in a dental office or managing 15+ staff members
- our manager is mostly rude when you talk to them and they are often overwhelmed
-dental assistant wise we were always understaffed and we had to overwork since we don’t have enough people
- the worst part is there is no one in the management who would listen to you or you can trust which is the worst part
-No diversity In the upper management ( just one person)
