The hiring process for this position was over 1 month long, It involved multiple stages: an online application with a detailed questionnaire and basic math assessment, a phone interview that was more in-depth than initially described, an observational interview, and a paid working interview.While the team seemed positive and collaborative, the role itself appears to be demanding, encompassing the responsibilities of a dental receptionist, treatment coordinator, insurance verification specialist, and patient intake. This multi-faceted nature, combined with the extended hiring process, was a significant consideration.The advertised pay range was $19-$23 per hour, with no direct dental receptionist experience required. Despite possessing seven years of transferable skills and related experience, I was offered $20 per hour. My attempts to negotiate were unsuccessful, with the explanation being a lack of direct dental experience. This felt contradictory, given their stated willingness to train and the emphasis on character and trainability.It’s worth noting that the team appeared predominantly female, and I sensed a reluctance to negotiate for higher compensation. They're prob not used to women not speaking up and asking for more.They seemed surprised when I tried to negotiate,it felt like they were unprepared to deal with salary negotiation. Ultimately, I accepted a position elsewhere due to the extended hiring timeline and the laughable pay offer.Prospective candidates, particularly women, should be prepared to advocate for their worth and negotiate effectively. The company's hiring practices and pay offer suggest an exploitive and underpaid working environment.
