Review from Sales Dept

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Actually listening to their employees. Not just taking a stance based on metrics that are inaccurate. Hurts the employee and the company.

Review from Sales Dept

They need to put themselves in our shoes, by realizing that we’re taking fault for people not having $2000 in their account when they enter the door, or because we offer a “free” appointment so people don’t think they have to buy the product that day

Review from Sales Dept
Response from SmileDirectClub

It's always our goal to provide support to our team members in guiding our customers through all aspects of the journey from payment to care. That said, we know that it's an investment. Please reach out to your leaders and people support to discuss.

TREAT YOUR EMPLOYEES LIKE PEOPLE WHO HAVE FAMILIES AND LIVE OUTSIDE WORK AND ALSO COMMUNICATION

Review from Sales Dept
Response from SmileDirectClub

We totally understand that work life balance is an important part of any career and position. It's our goal to provide support to our team members in this area, and we hope you will reach out for further discussion: [email protected].

The leadership team, in general, needs to experience working in a shop. Until they do that, until they take appointments, they will not understand that sometimes, regardless of the "behaviors" some people are not able to move forward that day. Regionals, pay attention to what your DMs are doing.

Review from Sales Dept
Response from SmileDirectClub

It's important to us that our SmileGuides feel support, empathy, and understanding from their leadership team. This is good feedback, and we hope you will provide more to your leader as well as people support at [email protected].

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

I feel undervauled because I was offered one pay rate but once I started they changed the pay rate. This company can't be trusted when going through the offer process.

Our culture at the company is diverse and the environment is a friendly one

Review from Sales Dept
Response from SmileDirectClub

That's wonderful to hear! We appreciate this.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

The company needs to look at it's leadership. There is a disconnect from the CEO, Regionals etc down to the DMs. The DMs push hard, too hard, for performance. They push for terminations and write ups a month in to a new hire starting. CHECK YOUR DMs!

Review from Sales Dept
Response from SmileDirectClub

We appreciate this feedback, as it's incredibly important for communication within our org chart to flow with understanding and respect. We'll certainly keep this in mind, and we hope you will reach out to people support to discuss further.

There is a high expectation for selling which stresses out employees and leaders. We feel so much pressure daily that we lose sight of the customers experience at time. DM's and up make us feel bad about ourselves when we don't perform.

Review from Sales Dept
Response from SmileDirectClub

We're disappointed to see this, as we certainly always want the customer and team member experience to be positive. We trust the feedback and perspective of our team, and we hope you will share input with your leaders and people support.

Actually focus on employee appreciation instead of consistently focusing on everything that goes wrong in the field.

Review from Sales Dept

Nothing, we create smiles and deliver a 5 star experience.

Review from Sales Dept

What did you like most about the interview process?

Interviews Reviews

How professional and organized it was

Review from Sales Dept

Its all face time; it is not just a phone call, or get in the car and drive all over the face of the earth. I loved the fact that I could see headquarters and understand there culture.

Review from Sales Dept

It was exciting and engaging.

Review from Sales Dept
Response from SmileDirectClub

We love that! Thank you.

getting to know the company better and the confidence as a business

Review from Sales Dept
Response from SmileDirectClub

We're thrilled to see this! Thanks.

The video screening before hand

Review from Sales Dept

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Interviews Reviews

Actually honor what you offer in your interview process. Offered one pay rate in writing and then they didn't honor such when I was onboarded.

Review from Sales Dept

The process had me do a FaceTime interview with 2 people and then I was hired. Really easy, but clearly not thorough. Also, there were lies told about "super fast advancement", "no pressure selling", "development focused". This is hype. This does not actually happen.

Review from Sales Dept
Response from SmileDirectClub

We're confused to see this, as we take pride in the stories of growth that so many of our team members have experienced here at SDC. It's our goal to make career paths clear, and we hope you will speak to your leader about your growth goals.

Be HONEST!!!!! U say the Job title is dental assistant and it’s not ..you are making us do sales

Review from Sales Dept
Response from SmileDirectClub

We are clear that our SmileGuide position includes elements of both retail and dental expertise. That said, we want our team members to feel supported and well equipped to take on that role, so we'll certainly internalize this feedback.

the ability to make a difference and increase the amount of smiles

Review from Sales Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Outlook Reviews

What's going wrong is the leadership and management levels in between. This is a dead end job as their is no growth without being related or friends with management. They will find ways to push you out.

Review from Sales Dept

The “sales” aspect and being punished for people not having money on them that day after offering a “free” everything, also being told what to do constantly no matter what you’re doing at that moment, and hours being taken away and false info from the beginning

Review from Sales Dept
Response from SmileDirectClub

We're concerned to see this. We certainly understand the nature of sales, and we want our sales team members to feel supported and comfortable with the expectations placed on them. We hope you will reach out to your leaders and people support.

I would like for everyone to be treated fairly

Review from Sales Dept

Quota is very stressing, scheduling, products aligners don’t fit

Review from Sales Dept
Response from SmileDirectClub

We certainly move quickly, and we have high expectations for our team as we grow. That said, we want our team members to feel supported in this movement. We sure hope you will reach out at [email protected].

What do you like best about your company?

Outlook Reviews

The work life balance is good.

Review from Sales Dept

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

Outlook Reviews

The public beat down on shops with low close rate did not go unnoticed. Yea, don’t do that. Forcing the fear of reprimand to shops and team members is not how you cultivate a good customer experience. Sham
