Comments about New York City
- I have not received a raise in three years and had more work five years ago. Since 2007 it has been very hard to find work and keep the schedules full.
- It is unfortunate that I am a healthcare provider and yet I cannot afford health/dental insurance. Many dentists in this area do not offer health benefits and it is definitely a reason to look for another career.
- The Dentist I work for is doing well; however, he keeps telling the staff that we are not reaching our monthly goals in order to put off staff reviews. He keeps crying poor even though my schedule is full for the next year!
