When I was interviewing, I was never told that I would be constantly moving between multiple clinics. I moved to Nevada to accept a job with Absolute, and when I was told which location I would be managing, I found a home in that area. However, I was being forced to commute up to an hour away to other locations, and when I first inquired about mileage reimbursement, I was told there was none. Imagine my surprise when I found out another employee in the same job as me was getting it since they too lived far away. I went to management with this and stated that is discrimination, and I did get awarded the mileage after that. The biggest problem I had was being shuffled between 7 different locations on a very regular weekly basis; that is EXTREMELY stressful and was NOT told to me during the interview process or I wouldn't have accepted the job.
There is extremely high turnover amongst the office staff; the dentists were medium-level turnover, but the office managers, receptionists, etc. were at about 50% turnover rates, which is extremely high. This causes a lot of stress as well.
The training program is atrocious; I had a trainer who was really sweet and who did know about the company/job, but they were expected to train for 3 different positions in the same class sessions, which was ineffective. Besides that, the trainees might be in one class with said trainer, but upon being shuffled to a different office, they no longer had that trainer for their time when they went to different locations. Then it was on the people who were working full-time in their roles (as office manager, receptionist, etc.) and it was apparent they did not want to/did not have time to train. There were many times I would just sit there while they did their own jobs because I 1) didn't have my own computer to work on 2) wasn't at a place yet where I was properly trained to know what I was doing 3) they said they were too busy to train at the moment and had to get their work done.
