Pros
The only upside would be getting exposure to the medical field through an entry level position.
Cons
The turnover rate speaks for itself. Management and doctors are absolutely disrespectful and have zero regard for the staff that keep their lousy clinics running. Management will never have your back and will always side with the rude and condescending doctors who suffer from severe God complexes. And don’t get too attached to your fellow medical assistants, most leave within a couple of months anyway. It’s a shame to see that such a dysfunctional clinic still operates, and hearing about fellow coworkers being brought to tears is absolutely heartbreaking. The management focuses so much on the doctor’s needs, and that means you’ll be taking the blame for anything that goes wrong in this dysfunctional place. It also means that patients will be yelling and screaming at you for things that are out of your control, but you have to put up with it to take any blame and responsibility off the doctors. The other reviews were spot-on... you’ll be a medical assistant, receptionist, janitor, and an emotional punching bag all for minimum wage. We were seriously overworked and underpaid. Hands down the worst job I’ve ever had. These clinics also attract the WORST patients! This place is a nightmare! If you’re looking to maintain your dignity and self-respect, I recommend never stepping foot in any of these “clinics”. It might seem like a great prospect for students looking to go into healthcare/medicine, but it’s really not worth the agony you’ll be put through.
