      I have been working at Western Dental Services full-time

      Pros

      Western Dental has a long history. They have been around for over 100 years. With that longevity comes experience, leverage, and the ability to make improvements quickly and with adequate resources. The company has made strides to develop solid compensation programs and incentives ranging from financial to career development. Team members and providers have opportunities to enhance their career trajectory in a forum that most other companies and private dental offices are not able to provide.
      Western is growing and building in to the dental home for the entire family with all specialties and finance programs available under one roof.

      Cons

      I would not call this a con, but rather an opportunity. With growth comes the need for more team members and the support in the offices. Western is always looking for talented providers and team to join.
