Pros
-The doctors I work with are AMAZING. I cannot stress this enough. Not only are they experts in their field, but they are also some of the kindest people I have ever come into contact with. They truly want you to understand why they do what they do, and are always willing to explain procedures/verbiage/etc. You can tell that they are grateful for their scribe. -A great way to gain meaningful experience in the medical field in order to move on to PA or MD programs. -It is a growing company, and with that come growing pains as well as successes. -Upper management listens to most concerns and answers emails within 24 hours.
Cons
-This is our third manager in the past 6 months. That alone brings unnecessary anxiety and thoughts of why are they leaving? Our newest manager seems ready and capable of making the changes needed to make this company successful. -Ten dollars an hour is not enough. Yes, it is great starting pay, but there is never any time to talk with the manager to ask for a raise. -No one is "full time." You will at least gain 20 hours a week, but that depends on your schedule and whether or not the doctors are taking off. If your doctor is off, so are you which is a double edged sword. You don't mind a day off, but you'd much rather be getting paid. There are opportunities to pick up shifts if you're willing to ask and drive to different locations. -I personally worked really hard to get medical insurance through the company because part time employees are not eligible. However, after reading the fine print, working an average of 32 hours a week, and staying in contact with multiple people in human resources for months, I was able to get medical insurance and paid time off. So just be aware that medical/dental/PTO are not necessarily available to you. -No room for growth.
