Cons :
-Refusal to properly train you 
-Extremely unrealistic expectations ( simply not enough hours in the day )
-Management WILL gaslight you into thinking you're incompetent and dumb
-Open gossiping about other employees in front of everyone from upper management 
-ZERO support so don't even bother asking, it only makes them upset with you
-Never ending false promises
-Mircomanaging to the extreme
-Your work is never appreciated, there's always something you could have done better 
-Upper management preached about the importance of personal accountability and they NEVER take any themselves 
-You sign up for one job and they fully expect you to learn and do three without any type of pay increase 
-toxic work environment including be yelled at or listening to others getting yelled at the entire day
-Nothing in the office works, things are always breaking and never getting fixed
-AC and Heater don't work, forced to work in either extreme cold or extreme hot
-Absolutely no room to grow ( even though they WILL promise you that in the interview )
-Extremely high turn-overrate, upper management can't seem to figure out why

Pros :
-One hour lunch break
-Friday and Saturday you got out around 3-4pm ( sometimes )

Absolutely no reason to work here. Anywhere is simply better by default.
A massive weight off my shoulders when I left.

A bunch of lies. They say one thing and do another. Run - don’t walk. Responsibility increases don’t come with salary increases. The Leadership team makes decisions in an Executive Conference room without much real world knowledge or thought about what their staff must do to accomplish its goals. 

We were allowed zero ability to collaborate based on my former manager’s controlling nature. I looked up the word narcissist and now I understand why I had issues with her (or she had issues with me). She didn’t like that I actually understood marketing. She manipulated me and our team and continues to rule the roost. Nepotism runs rampant. If you aren’t family or a close friend - good luck. They say if you are related you best be a “top performerr” but that is far from the truth. I’m just glad I left and don’t have to deal with them.

Was really excited to start working here because of the STAFF. Job wasn't so bad until they got rid of the management that we currently had, and was left alone. Horrible staffing, always short staffed. But even the current staff, you have to FIGHT for a raise and there is no room to grow. The only part that I liked working about this job was the staff. They tell you they don't micromanage but they are always watching what you do, and you have so many responsibilities. It sucks the way they treat their employees even the dentist themselves. I stayed to see if there was going to be improvement but there was no incentives, no encouragement, and no support. Hopefully they learn how to keep staff in the future, because everything is so disorganized and it takes a mental toll on you. 

I worked for Community Dental Partners for several years. In the beginning, I enjoyed my time there — the leadership team communicated professionally, and the environment felt supportive. However, after leadership changes, things went downhill quickly. Favoritism became a major issue, and it seemed like you had to be close friends with leadership to succeed or even keep your job. Speaking up or disagreeing with management often led to being pushed out, and they wouldn’t step in to help you improve. The workplace culture has become toxic and unbalanced, with hiring and promotion practices that feel unfair. Unfortunately, the company has lost the values it once had. I caution future employees to be aware of these issues before joining.

I would rate this company a 1/5 they treat you poorly , the managers are the worst and will not communicate with you
All they do is gossip and spread rumors and even when u thought u we’re doing really good in ur day they disappoint you , do not go here because they will not allow you to grow unless you have 10 years of experience , also they have multiple meetings every week that they wake u up at 7 am and the managers aren’t even on the meeting they’re just on there’s phones this whole company through the year has fired multiple staff and thinking it will benefit them but in reality there short staffed and don’t appreciate there employee. This company is ver unprofessional and they’re cheap and the doctors are the worst and will talk down when ur just a couple months in learning


Out of no where they terminated my employment for employees not taking lunches when my team would take lunches. We worked very hard an accommodate to patients. They gave me no one on ones. They never talked to me wrote me up for anything but they had a list of why they wanted to let me go. Sad part is they talk about having empathy and they couldn’t even call me back or answer my questions and have no proof of anything they are saying. They have too many heads calling shots there’s no one direction. They don’t talk to you directly they just jump to assumptions and just fire you. If they wanted to just lay off they could have done so. I loved my job so much. I loved my teams. I loved the doctors I worked for. I mostly loved my patients 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing, it’s terrible. Management and district manager the worse. Company is a joke.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
One particular doctor at one particular office. Unprofessional when he doesn’t get his way. Always changing things daily. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible, the worse. They don’t care about you. You are just an employee there. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very stressful. No management support at all.  Expectations are high and are never met. Overall no support.

If you are just starting in the dental field or been in it for years. Run the opposite direction. The doctor at this office belittles the assistants. Talks down and is just overall rude and disrespectful. Treats new employees abrasively while treating the other staff with respect. The difference was obvious from the start. The assistants at the office are sweet girls but can be “clique-y”and the front desk girls are sweet as well and are always welcoming and friendly.  Workplace culture is if you are the new girl run. But if you’ve been in the office for years then you are accepted and treated fairly. 

Honestly lasted a month before I quit. For $10/hr to learn a program that doesn’t seem easy... and believe me it’s not. The environment is fun but there can be people that talk smack about you. Also if you’re applying as a “Greeter” PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND: The app they use to check in patients is NOT easy. OpenDental is one of the most complex things to ever exist. If you have experience in that aspect then definitely apply, or in billing, operations, and managing payments.

On the other hand, my manager was absolutely a saint. Definitely the best one I’ve ever had. Not once did she make me feel bad and wasn’t upset when I put my two weeks in.

The days are often long, over demanding, and under appreciated. Management filled me with lies in order to hire me on and then never delivered on any promises of training. You’re thrown in with little to no training and expected to find a way to succeed on your own. The culture and division is extremely toxic. The company puts their goals and money ahead of any type of progress for employees or doctors. The doctors are pushed to do procedures they’re not comfortable with just for the money. This company did not align with my moral compass. Also was severely underpaid for the work I was doing
