I was expected to do about three job positions at the same time. Although training was provided, you are expected to learn at a very high pace. The call center is absolutely depressing to work in. There are no windows and they don't even provide a headset.  It makes it so much harder to type and take the call at the same time.   Every time you try to clarify any information, you are scoffed at and made to feel foolish. So you see a lot of mistakes being made because everyone is too afraid to ask. Supervisors act extremely childish and create a horrible working environment. I had a supervisor literally run to clock out because they did not want to assist me with a difficult call that went overtime. Yet that same supervisor had a colleague continue to work after they had clocked out! The offices are no different. There is an atmosphere of bitterness and arrogance that is extremely palatable throughout the company.  A dentist barked orders at me before I was even properly introduced because they wanted me to clean the bathroom. Yes, you are expected to do janitorial work in addition to reception. And to top it off, they change your schedule at short notice too. Get the experience you are desperate to obtain and leave or they will drain the life out of you. 

Had to leave a review because I am so grateful for the opportunity Smileland provided me when starting with minimal experience and the supportive/guided training from management and co-workers. The facility is very nice, clean, with newer equipment. The doctors are nice to work with, and I have enjoyed working with children. It is very rewarding to see our patients enjoy their visit at the dentist. It is a fun environment to work in, I have also enjoyed the friendships I have made with my coworkers. I have learned so much and highly recommend working at Smileland as a DA, RDA, or Receptionist. I also refer patients to be seen here because I see how much our doctor and staff care, and kids have fun during their visit. 

I love working for Smileland Dental, there is always something to do and extra hours available to pick up for over time. I like having a consistent schedule and weekends off.  My co-workers assistants and doctors all get a long and work as a team. I love working with kids and seeing them enjoy their time while at the dentist. Management is nice and understanding and they make the work environment comfortable and fun to be in. I have received timely raises. I would recommend anyone to work here, there is a lot of opportunities even for front office staff that don't have experience working in a dental office.  Benefits are available such as medical insurance and paid sick leave. They train, which I truly appreciated when I started. Overall very happy here, great company. 

I enjoy working here because of the family-like atmosphere, the well-structured and secure environment, and the fast pace which makes the day fly by. There are many opportunities for advancement, you do not need to have experience as they offer to train you in all areas front/back/billing. The company also provides sponsorships for dental assistant certificates, which can save employees with no dental experience thousands of dollars. These are a few reasons as to why I would recommend working here for anyone with and without dental work experience. 

Love working at Smileworld Dental due to the staff and doctors, everyone is easy to get along with, and we all work together. Usually busy so day goes by fast. Nice to see patients happy to visit the office because they look forward to the iPads, prizes, and point stickers. I like how the doctors have the best interest in mind for the patients at all times. Always work available, have a set schedule. Cross training available for front office that want to learn the back office and vice versa. Endless opportunities for growth. 

I love what I do and I could not ask for a better staff to work with. Management is very friendly, welcoming and always open to new ideas from staff Everyone is easy to get along with and always helpful. I have experienced so much growth within the time of working for the company and I am extremely grateful for the opportunities. Raises are regularly given and the company values and recognizes employee's work. I enjoy that my days are generally busy so it keeps me busy. I also enjoy having weekends off. The company offers good benefits as well!

Smileland Dental has given me a great opportunity to grow as an individual. They provided all the tools and skills needed to grow as an employee. Coworkers at office really become like family, always motivating you. The most enjoyable part of the job is the patients. The company always has awesome giveaways and contest for the patients. Also the company really values their employees. Overall great work environment. Very thankful for everything Smileland has taught me. 

I have enjoyed my time here at Smileland Dental. I was hired on with no experience as a receptionist, and they worked with me teaching me in the work I needed to learn and since then, I have grown to gain so much more knowledge in the Dental field. Management have been very patient and always eager to answer any questions I may have. It has been such a positive and working enviornment as we all work together as a team. Very bubbly and fun office to work in, which is great since we work with kids. 

PLEASE do not waste your time here! This is thee worst job, poor training and they “hire” you for one location and end up sending you anywhere they want. So if you apply for Visalia, your more than likely gonna go to Tulare. Not only that, you have to go to BAKERSFIELD FOR A WEEK just for poor training! Save your time, money and gas. Don’t do it & to top it off they give you USED scrubs to wear and alwayssss ask for dr notes if you call in. Don’t waste your time, the stress isn’t worth the pay! 

Company doesn’t care about you in the long run their corporate office needs to do their job better, get trained more. They totally over work you and don’t get appreciated, it’s a great place to work fresh out of dental school but as soon as you gain experience leave! No benefits no time off, only sick pay is available and to use your sick pay you need to show proof (a doctors note) to use your sick pay.
