    Dead end job.

    Nov 17, 2013 - Medical Assistant 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Supportive coworkers. Good choice of locations.

    Cons

    No raise in over a year. The review process is arbitrary and doesn't reflect actual performance other than which boxes were checked on the EMR when caring for a patient. Nurses are forced to hurry patient care, sacrificing quality. No chance for advancement. Increased workloads regularly without incentive to perform. Poor communication throughout the organization. Poor training for new employees. Low morale. Mediocre benefits. Constant staffing problems. Top heavy. Management and administration outnumber patient care staff.
