Jason50 Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 We all have heard of horror stories of bad associateships. What are some telltale signs you look out for to avoid a crappy associateship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauricio45 Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 When the owner's spouse works in the office especially as the office manager or front desk or co-owner dentist. Run far, far away and never take that associateship job. Nothing good ever comes out of that. Seen way too many horror stories with that arrangement. It's like having 2 sets of hyper-critical eyes and 2 people absolutely unshakable in their desire to screw you over as the associate, and that's not even counting the DAs and staff! Better to work at a corp than be with this arrangement. RUN! Or just any form of nepotism in the office (i.e. family members and close friends of the owner employed in the office).

PHDentist Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 There is no way to know really. Places that have a lot of turn over are bad, but how would you know that... Do working interviews. It goes both ways, you interview the staff as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
