Pros

There are countless benefits to working at Tend. It’s a new and innovative company with cutting-edge technology and opportunities to grow your career alongside the business. Being part of a game changer in the dentistry industry is truly exciting. Since joining Tend, I’ve refined my skills, polished my approach, and gained a more structured understanding of business operations. My network has expanded beyond what I could have imagined, giving me access to incredible professionals in the corporate world. From working with outstanding employees to learning from structured and inspiring leaders—both those who are still with us and those who have moved on—the experience has been invaluable. In my 2.5 years here, I’ve had the privilege of promoting, inspiring, and helping to develop managers and leads alongside me, which has been the most rewarding part of my journey. Combine all of this with a great schedule and a supportive environment, and Tend truly stands out as a fantastic place to work.

Cons

Honesty is key, and I believe in keeping it 100%. As a newer company, Tend has endless opportunities for growth. However, with growth comes change, and at every phase, adjustments are necessary to meet the company's evolving needs. Change often means losing people—sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse—but ultimately, it’s like a game of Tetris, where the pieces need to align to keep the momentum going. One of the most challenging aspects of change is transitioning leadership. Building trust and proving your capabilities all over again can be difficult, especially if you were on a clear and strong path with your previous leader. Change in systems and actions also adds pressure, especially when it comes to retention. People respond differently to change—some are analytical, some thrive on routine, and others resist it entirely. Finding the balance to build retention while navigating these differences is complex, especially when the expectation is that we all work together to succeed. The truth is, change affects people in different ways. This isn’t unique to Tend—it happens in every company. However, I’d rather go through it here, where there’s a clear investment in results and a commitment to growth. Grinding through the challenges is worth it because the pros outweigh the cons. As an optimist, I believe that if you have strong work ethics and strive to be a winner, every door is an opportunity waiting to be opened. At the end of the day, we are the business.

Pros

1. Opportunity to work hybrid (1 day a week for leadership, once a month otherwise) assisting with work/life balance. 2. Competitive base pay with added monthly bonuses based off performance. 3. Health benefits 4. $1000 towards dental work at Tend studios 5. Great coworkers contribute to a positive work environment. 6. Supportive management that fosters a sense of trust, open communication, and professional growth, ensuring that employees feel supported and valued in their roles.

Cons

1. Health benefits are rather pricy, which can be expected from a newer company, but still unfortunate. 2. $1000 towards dental work at Tend studios has to be paid up front and reimbursed, which can be tricky if you do not have the money to pay out of pocket initially for your procedures.

Pros

This organization has provided me with the platform to leverage my background in operations, while simultaneously pushing me to think on my feet and foster rapid collaboration across multiple departments. It has been fulfilling to have the chance to mentor numerous team members within the organization, witnessing their growth both as individual contributors and as leaders Tend prioritizes swift implementation of process and performance enhancements, yet they excel in actively seeking feedback to ensure that team members feel valued and heard. They are adept at pivoting when necessary to incorporate changes based on this feedback. On a personal level, I've consistently felt empowered to voice my thoughts within this organization, thanks to the numerous channels available for sharing opinions and providing input

Cons

Operating with agility is crucial for a growing organization. One aspect where Tend can improve is ensuring that the priorities we pursue yield the intended benefits. Recent strides in this direction have been positively received, notably through a more streamlined focus on a narrower set of priorities
