Pros

The company offers a great benefit package including 401k, health, and vision insurance. Also a parking/transportation stipend along with production bonuses are offered. Free CE courses. Great place to learn and grow as a hygienist. Coaching and training offered to hygienists on how to effectively communicate and educate patients and also provide the best care possible. Modern work space with up to date technology and equipment. For the most part great team work and everyone gets along well, but every office is different.

Cons

Can be very fast paced. Company has high expectations for team.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and experience at Tend. We appreciate your clinical expertise and time you dedicate to your members each day. We offer a competitive total rewards package for our hygienists that includes items for all different benefit needs. We are excited by the new addition last year to sponsor CE courses, which aligns with our value of growth & development. We also have highly skilled hygienists and Lead Hygienists, who support coaching and training our teams. Our hygienists, with support from the clinical and technology teams, keep us educated on the best technology and equipment to enhance our team member and member experience. A positive of multiple Tend studios in the same city is that you can work at one or multiple offices depending on your commute or team working preference. We are growing quickly and do have high expectations for our team, so we focus on communication, change management, training, and listening to feedback from our team members. Thank you for your feedback and please let us know if you would like to continue this discussion, email us at people@hellotend.com.

Pros

There are none. It's all fake.

Cons

If you're a dentist make sure to hit quota. It's not about health It's about margins. If you're a hygienist be prepared for burn out and also hitting numbers or you get placed on a PIP. If you're a manager be prepared to not have leadership elevate you yet make you know you are a bad performer if you can't make your office hit numbers. Nobody cares. Tend is so toxic. So toxic. It runs on toxic people. But on a good note we all pay the piper and someway or another even in your career consequences meet you at a crossroad. They had so many chances to fix the ill will. But look who's still standing in certain positions 🤔 Who's the common denominator... To everyone at Tend, it's true some people are not cut out for some jobs. Thats okay, but you should never let anyone disrespect, belittle or take away your grit. That's what Tend does do their employees. Without transparency, conversations with HR, documents, documents, to avoid getting sued, almost giving cult vibes lol, at the expense of human understanding, growth and development which they swear they have. Personally I wouldn't sit in a chair as a patient knowing my hygienist os under pressure. I would second guess all the treatment. Humans are being put in ortho with doctors that have no experience. Its like open the gates for the cows. Come one come all. But as mentioned, the intent can be hidden behind the pretty walls but the industry is small and like I said everyone pays the piper. Tend is toxic to employees and public.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. I want you to know it was read carefully and not dismissed. The feelings you've described — of not being supported, of pressure without recognition, of wanting more transparency — are things I take seriously. That is not the experience we want anyone to have at Tend, and when it happens, it matters. I won't try to address every point here, but I do want to say directly: our people deserve to feel respected, developed, and heard. Where that hasn't happened, we have work to do. I'd genuinely welcome the chance to hear more from you. Please reach out to me directly at people@hellotend.com if you're open to it. Miriam Scholes, Chief People Officer
