Pros

Free coffee, good located in the heart of Berlin

Cons

Bosses are sneaky and try to find things out about employees to get rid of them There are many freelancers and so there are not many people who can call themselves colleagues m. People talk behind their backs about others - also the founders talk behind other employees backs in a bad manner Very poor communication because everyone wants to decide over everything . This is how micromanagement starts. No one communicates over really important decision Bad career chances: there are many freelancers and so there is no need to promote employees. Some founders have already said this out loud !!! Overtime and working on weekends is really normal

Dear Employee,We are sorry to hear about the observations you made while working in our team. Thank you for taking the time to share them. By doing so, you have opened up this opportunity for us to work together to make improvements going forward.In order to understand how we could meaningfully improve your experience here, we encourage you to approach the People and Culture team to discuss more concrete details and solutions for improvement.While it is true that we encourage our employees to share their experience working on our team on platforms such as Kununu and Glassdoor, we do not ask them to write positive reviews. We encourage them to share their honest experience as we want to make sure potential employees feel they have reliable, transparent information available to them in order to make a good decision to come to PlusDental.We do have freelancers supporting our team on projects critical to PlusDental overall goals. Our preference as a company is to prioritize hiring regular employees where it makes sense to do so (for example, on long-term projects). The large majority of recent additions to the team (over 90\% of employees hired in 2019) have been non-freelance employees.Again, we are sorry to hear about the negative experience and would really like to be able to use this chance to improve it. We therefore encourage you to approach the P&C team for further assistance.Kind Regards,The PlusDental People and Culture Team

Pros

There is challenge in the tasks, it is not all that easy. You seem to be taken a bit more seriously here than in some other customer service jobs I worked, at least there is some an attempt to listen to the employees all though knowing where to go with your feed back seems to be a challenge in itself, the structures are quite unclear, personal 1-1 talks very rare. The payment is OK but for the amount of stress and responsibility it is just really not a lot.

Cons

There is a lot of company self praise, beautiful promises to the employees in the beginning. We were supposed to have unlimited home office days, but now being pressured to come to the office. First time I got to the office (I never saw my manager outside of Zoom) he did not have to politeness to even get out of his seat and introduce himself or just say hi, allthough he is passing our desks when going for smoking breaks. Don't get fooled into thinking it is not all about the money and your not a number here. We help patients really well up to the point where they purchase the treatment. Than we are so understaffed that we hardly have time to answer serious medical requests. Instead we are supposed to spend our time reminding people to go to their first appointments because that will bring in the money. One day to the next half of certain teams were fired because the companies targets are not reached. Management is overly focussed on numbers, lots of time spent talking about the stats instead of making simple improvements that will improve employee or customer / 'patient' experience. The 'award winning' feedback cycle consisted of 1 word, not even joking, litterally one word of feedback written on a form after months of working there. Like, that is the amount of time they take for their employees on the bottom of the company. All in all I think PlusDental is presenting themselves really pretty and humane to the outside but once you get in, it is just another big corporation. Not that good for your mental health.
