What people are saying about Pacific Dental Services

Salaries in Healthcare

a year ago

works at 

Pacific Dental Services

I am currently a healthcare coordinator (previously known as “treatment plan coordinator) for one of the offices with Pacific Dental Services. Lately I have noticed a big turnover, as our market here in South Carolina has been losing Coordinators, Dental Assistants, and even the Hygienist have been walking away from the company. I really enjoy my role in the office but it does make me curious. What might be the culprit for so many people quitting the company?

Easy Interview
Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Pacific Dental Services (Corona, CA) in Oct 2023

Interview

Slow, painfully slow hiring process, with no communication. Contacted by recruiter, and moved onto a zoom meeting with a manager, the first date was cancelled by him, and rescheduled. During the zoom, he asked for an in-person interview, scheduled for one week later. Upon leaving the in-person interview, he stated he was ‘interested in me’, and would let me know approx a week and half later. Almost 2 full weeks later, I finally decided to email him to get a status update, and he replied stated I was still ‘under consideration’ he hoped to have a decision soon. I emailed him again several days after the date he hoped to have his decision made, and almost immediately, the recruiter texted me to say I was not chosen for the position. A 6 week process in total, told twice I was a candidate for the position, and then, I don’t even get the decency of a phone call or email?

Interview

Short and not all all informative. All they were worried about was how much time I can commit to them. I guess they have a lot of turnover. Doesn’t seem like a company that can do work/life balance.

Good dentist, recruiter, employees. i did not like the draw clause. They offer good benefits such as insurance and C E courses. Maybe it would be good for a new grad.

Interview

Applied online. HR sent an email and scheduled a time/date for a screening call. Confirmation/reminder emails were received from PDS. HR never called nor responded in anyway. Keep using surveillance and eavesdropping as a dirty toy on your candidates. Makes perfect sense why PDS is a rats nest. Maybe you should relocate PDS to North Korea, for a more suitable setting?

If asked what type of management style to you prefer? How do you feel about micromanagement? How do you answer this professionally? Nobody likes micromanagement so why ask? Maybe bc the manager there does?
