CITYMD Reviews

Pros

They take care of their employees

Cons

Long hours and heavy flow at times

Pros

lots of experience and skills gained

Cons

There are no downsides at all

Pros

It’s great short term for those who are looking to get a feel of what it’s like to be in healthcare, the doctors are amazing and supportive, camaraderie between staff is great , the managers are great too but it’s all dependent on site. You’ll build relationships with all these people and it’s a great stepping stone for you if you’re going to further your education. You learn to take vitals, point of care tests, diagnoses, medications etc.

Cons

With all the changes and mergers , you may get pulled out out of your site and moved to another one and that can really go either way. You need to swap shifts with someone who’s willing and most times they’re not willing. Managers tend to be very accommodating but too overbearing and some can be micromanagers which is annoying especially if you’re a good worker.

Pros

Good pay Work-life balance( sometimes managers are expected to do work on their days off administrative and contact by phone) 45 hrs/wk pay overtime Free lunches at every meeting ( there are several meetings every week) They stress engagement (downside they want your staff to like you as if you need to be friends with everyone more so then do your job )

Cons

Favoritism and office politics if you don’t fit in with higher ups they are quick to get rid of you . They have a “circle “ The VP,DM and providers are allowed to speak you you in a condescending way . You have no autonomy in running your site you have to confer with HR about everything . They do not provide efficient training and they don’t provide support. They do ROCs that you aren’t aware of as of form of performance management. Any conversation is considered a write up and written documentation without your knowledge .

Pros

3 days off per week, staff is usually nice, decent health benefits, 120 hours of PTO per year, holiday bonus, free scrubs, break rooms are average, some of the providers are nice

Cons

Understaffed, poor management, awful HR follow up, short breaks (12 hour shift only gets 50 minutes total), poor wages, constant site transfers with no gas compensation, rigid schedule, PTO system isn’t great, physicians treat staff members like their in residency, no help during busy hours, training people without additional compensation, physicians can make or break your day, management will talk bad about you to your face, management will also talk bad about you behind your back, very cliquey, management is constantly changing

Pros

Great managers, doctors and co-workers. Fast paced. Working here makes you learn a lot of things specially if working with Dr. Raskin

Cons

none other than a broken fax machine

Pros

Good paid clinical experience with room to grow in the company

Cons

Corporate will always come to the clinic with the worse ideas

Pros

If you’re looking for a temp job it’s fine

Cons

Horrible horrible management at every level. Force employees to work crazy shifts , for example once I was forced to work 7 days straight for.a total of 78 hours in a 2 week period , the manger did this purposefully to force me to exhaustion but also made sure that I didn’t make enough hours for overtime . I am an MD, at the time I was working as a medical assistant to support my family before finishing boards and entering residency , one of the worst jobs I’ve ever had in my life. The doctors are the most condescending , ego driven , narcissists. Pushing patient volume over quality of care and berate employees who took long ( more than 5 mins ) taking histories , not sure if anything’s changed since I worked but I wouldnt recommend this to anyone trying to make money or get experience .

Pros

- Great providers who are willing to mentor future Med/PA/NP/RN students - Can be rewarding sometimes specially if bilingual - growth within the company is very possible

Cons

- Might be sent to other sites rather than the one you have been scheduled for - No union

Pros

Great people to work with. Feels like family

Cons

Higher ups can be aloof and offer no real Help
