Pros
* Great exposure to the medical field if you are seeking to have a career. * Get to work with physicians, NPs, PAs, medical assistants, X-ray technicians, and PSRs. * Learn point-of-care testing, EKG, blood draw, and urine drug screening. *Networking opportunities. (Build relation with the providers and staff members) * Access to mentorship and a letter of recommendation from providers if there is a good understanding. *Can pick up shifts and do overtime.
Cons
* Bare minimum pay/starting salary is 19.50 and no raise * Fast-paced, heavy workload, extremely overworked (bring patients in, patient charting, point-of-care testing, x-ray orders, blood draws, EKGs, lab processing, referrals). * Management (practice manager, office supervisor) sucks, site manager/district manager does not care about employees. All they care about is patient volume. *If you work at a super site, you will be overworked and yet underpaid and underappreciated/valued by your manager/supervisor. *Extremely understaffed.
