Working at Aspen Dental in Flowood, MS: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Flowood, MS Area

"Aspen Dental is poorly managed, the model is designed to be chaotic, does not provide proper training and is all about the MONEY. My management training was for 10 weeks in FL, I only had 2 days of hands on training. and the other was reading, reading and reading modules. I drove over 130 miles daily to read training modules that I could have read at home on my laptop. I was not allowed to ask questions and was often sent back to a cold room to continue reading. When I did arrive in MS and started working, I was constantly told my process was incorrect, "It's not the Aspen Way". What is the "Aspen Way", I asked and where do I find it? It must be part of a secret society because nobody could tell me where to find it. Aspen says they are there to support you but be careful. The doctor and regional manger will have memory loss and leave you on an island by yourself. When I was appointed as manager at the MS location, the doctor called the regional manager and told her, he did not want me to be the manager based on what he was told by the previous administration at this same location. The clinical staff was also told by the previous administration not to follow my leadership and direction, left the office in an administrative mess that I had to clean up along with a handful of bratty teenagers to manage especially, the clinical team. The lab tech, dental assistant and hygienist were rude and disrespectful. They often lied on me to get their way. The previous dental assistant was lazy and often cried over how low her raise was which was due to the previous manger and doctor recommendations. The doctor and regional manager believed whatever they said and never held them accountable... why, because "It's hard to replace a lab tech and hygienist." per the regional manager. Why would the clinical team be soooo disrespectful you may ask?... due to their loyalty to the previous manager and assistant office manager and their continued relationship with them. The doctor changed"
