Hawaii Family Dental is a fun place to work all thanks to the people I am here with ๐ Hawaii family Dental has been the best job I have worked for so far in my job journey. I feel very comfortable and appreciated in this office, and can see myself being here for a long time. All of the people I work with are amazing and very caring. Benefits are great, and they do what they can to make sure you are happy with the work schedule that you need. Our boss does what she can to show us her appreciation by taking us out to do fun things around the island. I love that with this job you can only go up from where you start, there is always so many opportunities to move up and forward in this office. I have learned so much more about dental that I didn't know in just one short year of working here. This will be home for a long time and I am excited to spend many years in this office ๐
Pros Free teeth cleanings

Warm culture with lots of support I've learned a lot about insurance processes in this role. It's a lot of information in the beginning, but it's not difficult work. Management gave me great support in my training, and my coworkers provide lots of additional help when needed. The hardest part of my job is managing the different spinning plates...this is definitely a role that requires strong organization and time management skills. The most enjoyable part of my job is the little details that make everyone else's work easier. I love working with the patient's and easing their anxieties. I love supporting my team and making their day go smoothly. The one thing I would change is the requirement to use PTO on holidays that the office is closed. In my mind, I wish that was optional, as I would choose to work most holidays in an effort to save that PTO for time when I specifically request off. Otherwise, the company benefits, particularly the employee dental plan, are great and satisfactory.

Great Place to Work I've been working at HFD for a few months now and everyone from the staff, management and patients have been very welcoming and supportive during my time here. Everyday I'm learning something new about the dental field and how to better assist our patients and team. The job does get challenging at times, but the team has been there every step of the way to help me through it.
Pros great team work

AMAZING Co-Workers and Company Hawaii Family Dental has a great culture that fosters growth and collaboration. Everyone is HAPPY to help each other out and there are opportunities to grow and further your career! Almost all of the managers started as a dental assistant or front desk position which is amazing because they have so much knowledge to share. The most enjoyable thing about coming to work is the people I get to work with everyday!

Team Work, benefits, great team Enjoy being able to help people. Team work is the dream work when it works. Always learning something new, Hardest part of the job is telling people to get off my desk, they want to talk story and we all got things to do. Enjoyable part is helping people get their smiles back.

My thoughts about the company Pros:I love how diverse the environment at our workplace. They really value work life balance and the management is indeed great! This is the first time I encounter a workplace where people are like your childhood friends.
Cons:Right now, I can't think of any reasons.

Great Management, Helpful Colleagues and Productive work Pros:Stress-free environment and the bonus I get is based not only on my efforts but the team's efforts as well. You'll work hard get the bonus, not because someone higher wants you to.
Cons:Too early to tell, but if there's any I think it will be the limited overtime.
Advice to Management:Keep up the great work! You guys have great people skills. Keep the great bond and connection with us. Communication is always the key. Thanks!

Teamwork is a major part of this company Hawaii Family Dental believes in teamwork. That is the greatest aspect of the company. The doctors and dental assistant are amazing. The front staff works very hard to make sure things are in order for a patients visit. Which puts them in overload for what is required. I believe if some of the way the front is ran could be changed the office as a whole would improve. I do appreciate the opportunity that was given and the awesome staff I was graced with. I will forever remember and love HFDC.
Pros Great gatherings to celebrate birthdays and births
Cons Not a true interest in the employees

Supportive and fun Hawaii Family Dental is a great place to work! It is the perfect blend of family and business. There are lots of locations though out the state. I was actually recommended to HFD by a friend that works at a different location. It is nice to know my friend loved her job enough to refer me. Working at a Dental Center is great if you need to get work done on your teeth too!! I feel like I am making a difference in the community.
Pros good training, lunch, good coworkers, promotions
Cons Traffic is hit or miss

Former Employee Benefits, Co-workers, and Dr's are what made me love being there. Great benefits and 401k package. Management can improve. More listening to how employees feel and they'll be able to maintain employees. Overall, it's a great company to work for.
