Pros

There are none. I would include them to be fair if I could think of one.

Cons

I don’t even know where to start with this company, and I don’t think words in a Glassdoor review can truly even fully expose the toxicity alone. I can assure you, I am not a disgruntled employee who was fired writing this. I was an extremely unhappy employee who voluntarily left due to mistreatment, virulent individuals in leadership positions, and the ways that it was affecting my health and family through my employment at this company. Tend is great at marketing themselves as an innovative, modern company. What is not seen from the outside is all of the ways that leadership could care less about the human beings that work for them. This was exhibited through the ways employees are spoken to and unrealistic expectations to sacrifice our personal lives for a job. A job. I was cursed at in meetings, constantly put down either directly or passive aggressively and made to feel that I was inferior to other individuals of a higher “title” than myself. I know many other people who have left this place either by their own choice or through an abrupt layoff. Do not leave a good job and come to Tend. Do not look for a fresh start and come to Tend. The leadership here is delusional in thinking this place can be a success in the way that they do business and treat the people that work so hard for them.

Fun environment!! I love my team and patient base. Great marketing and support system.

Cons

Being in the dental field for a while now I had not found a dental family where I felt heard and Tend offers that. No complaints on my end!

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
