I have been working at Smile Brands full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Multiple locations which help make it easier to find a clinic that works for you. Good pay structure and benefits, collaborative setting between doctors that can help answer questions and encourages... a younger dentist to expand their skills. Good team environment with the coworkers I have had experience with. Specialists available for discussion and consults which is a big plus. In general, I have been very happy here.
Cons
Specialists at this time are only at about half the offices, but they have been steadily increasing where they are available.
