I’ve worked for the company since it took over Southern Dental and have enjoyed the work environment. Everyone is friendly and supportive. I have been offered great opportunities to expand my skills like being sent onto the Ashley Latter course! Working in a corporate has allowed me to make lots of friends around the country. The annual conference is a great opportunity to meet up and celebrate our success

Staff in house are amazing, higher management / HR poor.

Nurse (Current Employee) - Moat Road, East Grinstead - 9 June 2022

Unfair pay, not competitive at all. Great group of staff in house, super fun and bubbly place to work at, higher management do not seem interested to keep their staff. Very busy, could be more rewarding. Employees should be treated better.

Rewarding place to work

Dental Receptionist (Current Employee) - Haslemere - 9 April 2022

Colosseum is a lovely place to work. The job can be difficult and stressful at times but equally rewarding. Management is supportive to all job roles and people as individuals.

Depends on branch

Practice Manager (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 4 March 2022

There isn't consistent experience at Colosseum, your experience will very much depend on who your direct manager is and their management style. The leadership team is slow to respond to employee concerns or questions, they create a culture where it doesn't feel comfortable to give critical feedback.

Pros

Individual clinics have a great team relationship

Cons

Not competitive salary or career progression

Not recommended at all!

Dentist (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 8 November 2021

The company was trying to improve but it is lacking of basic organizational capabilities. The different departments don't communicate with each other and it causes such a big mess. Do yourselves a favour and stay away.

Cons

Money issue and wrong charges every month

A wonderful dental practice and a fair dental corporate.

Dentist (Former Employee) - Stoke Newington - 1 October 2021

Colosseum is a good corporate practice to work for and I have worked for many. They pay fairly and on time. Stoke Newington Dental practice has been a pleasure to work with. The team are exceptionally hard working, efficient and professional, yet friendly and supportive. My colleagues have always helped me when I have run into any issues. They are welcoming, inclusive and make you feel values as a team member. You can tell that the processes in place have made it an efficient and organised place to work in, the team works well together. I am so grateful to the manager and the team for my value and enjoyable experience of working there.

Pros

Free lunches, work socials

Cons

Amazing Company to work for!

Practice Manager (Current Employee) - Somerset - 29 September 2021

I have been with Colosseum around 5 months, and have come from a much larger corporate background. The difference in the companies is unbelievable. I was unsure if I wanted to remain in the Dental sector but Colosseum have absolutely restored my love of Dentistry.

Pros

Staff rewards and frequent recognition.

Fun and supportive place to work!

Practice Manager (Current Employee) - Oxford, Oxfordshire - 10 September 2021

I feel Colosseum are a great company to work for!I started as a Lead Dental Nurse at another practice and as a result of the support and mentorship of my manager at the time, managed to get a promotion to Practice Manager within 1 year of being at the company. There is a family-like atmosphere within the company, everyone supports each other and are willing to help. Being new to the PM role I was extremely anxious, but the management team pointed me in the right direction and have set me up to succeed. The team I manage are fabulous! Very hard working and always willing to go the extra mile :)

Pros

Supportive management, room for career progression

Over worked and under paid

Receptionist (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 1 September 2021

Absolutely Shocking company!! I will say that the best thing about working for these people was the flexibility that was great but that is where it starts and ends. Unless you are a dentist or Hygienist there is: No support. No development or Training program. No yearly pay review or increase, in fact the PDP (personal development plan) is a joke as there is no training structure in place to manage or develop staff in the first place. You cannot develop people with no program in place. The bonus scheme criteria is laughable, as it is based on other colleges performance, so if they miss their target and you achieve yours nobody gets a bonus, this just seems unethical. The level of staff turnover in the clinic I worked was a red flag and was a major factor as to why I left and this is from Practice Managers all the way down the staff to the reception team.

Pros

Flexibility and working hours

Cons

Everything else

Fabulous career change

Dental Nurse/Receptionist (Current Employee) - Horsham, West Sussex - 31 August 2021

I joined Colosseum Dental during the global pandemic and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Colosseum gave me the choice to completely change my career path and have continued to support me through my dental nursing course. I joined with absolutely no clinical knowledge and experience, and I am now continuing to progress with my career working for a great company :)

Pros

Free uniform, Free training, supportive, great team

Cons

None

HR Business Partner (Current Employee) - England - 25 August 2021

The company's tagline is 'We care more' and they certainly embody this statement. The senior leadership team has a people-driven vision that filters down through the organization.I was new to the dental industry. However, I have has a tonne of support, and everyone has been incredibly helpful in supporting me through my induction.The business is fast-paced and there is always something to do. There is never a day where I get bored.

Avoid this corporate !!

Receptionist (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 20 August 2021

This company doesn't care about their staff, as soon they changed the CEO the company went down... all staff are new, they just put pressure on private but they don't even increase the salary to the staff after 1 year... worst company, avoid !
