Pros
Experience and exposure to the medical field.
Cons
However, if you already have exposure to the medical field through previous jobs it really doesn’t offer much more insight to the field. I have 7 years experience in the medical field and I was drawn to the job by the flexibility while I’m in school. However it isn’t flexible at all. I ended up working way more shifts than I intended to, due to coworkers constantly calling in. The pay sucks. I took a 5 dollar pay cut coming here after being promised to match my pay rate from my previous job. I was promised a chief scribe position, that never happened I was lied to. The company doesn’t protect its scribes from anything. All the company cares about is its contract with the hospital to make that money. The company takes advantage of college students and pays them just above minimum wage. I can go to work at Walmart as a cashier and make more money than working as a scribe. Worst company I have ever worked for. I would rather wipe butts than to work for this company again. Management sucks and takes months to get back to you. I sent my project manager an email and got a reply back no joke 1 month later. This company is a joke. If you are a hospital looking to contract with Scribe America look elsewhere with one of the other dozen companies out there. While they put on a good show and look very professional and amazing, don’t be fooled by this trickary. This is not written because I was fired. I willingly left to get away from this company and to make more money in a more flexible job. (No it wasn’t Walmart, that was just an example)
