Pros

Worked with a great Studio Manager and fellow Hygienists. The doctors were fairly new to the company, however helped to build a sense of camaraderie.

Cons

THE WORST UPPER MANAGEMENT EVER!!! They were out of touch with the day to day flow of the hygienist. No support for hygienist...at all!!! You are expected to do a number of tasks during a hygiene appointment (specifically a new patient) with no time to actually provide the best patient care. Long days with only a 30 minute lunch break, which you never really have time for because you will run over your entire shift. Find a private practice that will help you thrive and support your skills as a professional healthcare provider.
