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

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.
