Cali Dental

Just like any other clinical office, it can get pretty stressful, and the schedule can range from super busy to not busy at all. But overall, my experience here has been nothing but great. There are some areas that need work, of course, but every job is like that. CaliDental has worked with my crazy availability over the past few years & they currently still work with me when I need to request off certain dates. Not only are they flexible, but they do want you what's best for you! If you ever want to advance in the dental career, they're pretty great at being there for you for moral support OR if you need help getting to where you want to be in your profession, they are willing to help you!

I thought when I first started that this job was just going to be like stepping grounds for me to get back into the dental world again, but it became more of a company that I'd love to continue working for in the long run. 

Management is there for you when you need them the most, but just like any other place, management does get swamped with other things as well, but you aren't forgotten. You also get some great benefits along the way too. For a company that's growing so fast, they make sure that their employees do receive medical, dental, vision, paid holidays, 401k & other benefits that can be hard to come across when you are working a full-time schedule and don't have a lot of time to look into what healthcare plans that are out there. Not only that, but you do also get monthly bonuses for the hard work that we do when we meet our goals!

The staff is also what makes working at CaliDental a lot more worth it. You build these close bonds with the team and it's like they've been your best friends since birth. Yea, some days you just wanna trip them and make them face plant, but the other days you'll go to the bat for them! 

It's not always work, work, work...I mean it is, but it isn't. You can for sure work hard here, but you can chill too. The hardest part about this job is pleasing every single patient. Not every one of them you will be able to please, but you do know that at the end of the day you did try your best, but some just don't care how much you've gone out your way to make their visit better.

I will conclude that the part that makes working at CaliDental enjoyable is that fact that you are changing patients smiles every day for the better! You get to help them along their oral hygiene journey with a team that is just phenomenal. It's a mini work family for sure. 

I was brought into a role with a heavy workload and very limited training or support, while also being expected to correct ongoing issues that stemmed from a previously untrained team. Many situations involved upset patients and unresolved problems, and I was expected to manage these without clear guidance or authority to provide real solutions. In addition, I was frequently assigned responsibilities that did not align with my original job description, which made it feel as though my position had changed without communication. The environment was highly stressful and not very welcoming, with frequent negativity and a lack of teamwork. Overall, the unclear expectations, insufficient training, and workplace culture made this a very difficult experience unlike any other.

STAY AWAY NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OVERWORKED UNDERSTAFFED 

The company is very disorganized, very low pay, the turn over rate is high which leads to new employees all the time, without enough people to train, any job here is very dependent on others doing their jobs correctly which does not happen due to this lack of training right from the start, there are very few managers willing to help, as well as managers having their favorites, these are people who do not know what they are doing but get moved up into management positions.The pay is low for amount of stress you deal with daily.

A good and professional work environment starts off with good management!
Since we brought in a new manager this site has been a disaster! Not only scheduling mix ups but also the attitude and desire to be at work is so noticeable that one as an employee feels so unattached.. There is always talk about one employee to another which is so unprofessional! The office is very unorganized and alll over the place because of this!  Management needs to do a better job and set an example… 

The typical day to day is very straight forward with a strong structure carried by the schedule. We have strong Dr's with with care and devotion when it comes to our patients and staff. Out management is easy to talk to and our coworkers are nice to get along with. There's no ther place that can truly compare to how this company is structured. I strongly advice anyone who is wanting to get into dental, to start with CaliDental. It's fun, easygoing and a great place to learn.

Terrible management that only cares about making a buck. Once you’ve worn out your usefulness, or refuse to tow the corporate line they will get rid of you. They do not care about their employees, only about cramming in more low income patients so they can reach their quota. Managers are untrustworthy and will be nice to your face, and then stab you in the back as soon as they need to get the focus off of themselves for their ineptitude. Save yourself the gray hairs. Don’t even apply here!

They tell you one thing at the interview and then when you start work it's a whole different world.  They are exactly like Western Dental if not worse.  They offer no benefits and you work with no KN95 masks putting you at risk for getting COVID.   If it's not an email, it's a phone call, a text, 4 people in your face telling you what to do constantly.  Terrible management and they even have the dental assistants clean the bathrooms and take out the trash.  

I love to come in every morning ready to answer phone calls and, help people scheduled their appointments. I enjoy very much to be able to help Spanish speaking patients. I have learned and still learning everything about the Dental field. Managment is great, it is very nice to work for a manager that has a very good positive energy.

The management is horrible and very rude. They pick favorites and have a habit of placing blame on new employees. High turn over rate so you’re always left with new hires. Get very angry when you ask to take your ten that is required by law. If you aren’t a favorite of the manger you will be over looked and stepped all over. Management and staff would talk bad behind my back in Spanish because they thought I wouldn’t understand.
