Pros

I have been there 3 +yeas and make 2x as much as i ever did in my 20 years of private practice and they match your 401k contributions and have many other benifits like health insurance and pet insurance and disability. They also have a hygiene support team that helps you with any questions or struggles and they offer continuing education credits, they paid for me to be laser certified and my doctor paid for my local anesthesia certification. I truly love it there and if you are motivated you have the potential to make huge monthly bonuses. Sometimes my bonuses are even bigger than my paychecks. Every office is different so sometimes you have to try a few offices to get the right fit. There is also opportunity to move up into other positions within aspen and move up the corporate ladder. It is also easy to transfer from 1 aspen to another should you move or one position opens up at another aspen closer to your home, which is what i did recently.. i will probably stay at Aspen for the rest of my time practicing hygiene for these reasons.

Cons

Very fast paced at times but then there are times where you are also very slow. you can make your schedule lighter and make your appointments as long as you need. I usually see 4-6 patients a day. If you need 4 hours for Srp or 2 hours for a prophy its perfectly fine. Where it gets a little hectic is you have to perio chart and treatment plan all of the new patients that come in to see the doctor alongside your column of patients so thats where sometimes it can get a little stressful. But there are some days where there are very few new patients and some days where there are 20. Aspen’s demographic of new patients are usually people who havent been in for a very long time and a good majority of them are periodontal pt’s requiring SRP ,Laser and other locally applied antibiotics.

Pros

Aspen has a rare balance you don’t often see as a manger: they care deeply about their people as individuals and then about the results you deliver. Coaching is a part of everyday leadership and professional development is taken seriously. The culture ask that we try to continuously improve and support is always available. It’s a challenging environment and a lot to learn but worth it to see people get their smiles back. There are many potential growth opportunities for staff at all levels and it’s the first company in years where I feel rewarded for the hard work I put in.

Cons

The role suits those excel at their people skills. It’s managing people, driving metrics and constantly convincing people to trust in you and your team. The bar is set high and sometimes that can mean a long day. This isn’t for the meek and mild.
