Pros

Paid lunch was my biggest motivation to go to work here

Cons

- Toxic/unsustainable work culture. Too many patients scheduled in too little time, causing all the staff to be overworked every day and unable to provide quality service, even to the best of our ability. We were even understaffed on some days. - Get ready to be a punching bag for providers who have anger issues - All the staff had to work several job titles. I was a scribe, an interpreter, a front desk receptionist, had to multitask all the time and worked overtime everyday - I understand Rendr has specific goals to reach that includes numbers, but these goals are carried out by the employees working in clinics, not the higher ups, and they were extremely unrealistic. - A lot of patients also treat clinics like a social work office, not a place to treat illness. - It was extremely damaging to my mental health when I was working full-time, to the point I sought and started therapy. - I was so gaslighted to the point that I celebrated getting a bonus of a dollar in my pay rate.

Pros

I have been working at Rendr as a corporate employee for about four years, and it's truly been a great experience. Rendr has an amazing company culture where communication is open, easy, and encouraged across all teams. Everyone is approachable, and collaboration feels natural; you never feel unheard. Things get done quickly and efficiently. Leadership genuinely considers everyone's opinion when making decisions. There is a strong emphasis on work-life balance, which makes it easy to stay motivated and productive without burnout. Management provides great guidance, is supportive and very understanding, which creates a positive and respectful work environment.

Cons

Honestly, very few. Rendr continues to grow and improve. Leadersip is open to feedback as the company evolves

Pros

-Recognizable brand in Chinese community -Decent support staffs depending on your office -Many locations to work in NYC -Flexible work scheduling -Runs social events like Chinese New Year -$10k sign-on bonus for physicians/ $5k for NP, PA

Cons

-Rendr offers higher than market base salary but will end up giving you close to market overall total compensation for physicians (HR will tell you guaranteed 15% bonus but they don't tell you don't get any bonus for your first-year employment. They don't make up for it during second year despite reassuring to you they do) -Much higher than average number of patients you need to see (depending on your offices can range from 30s-70s+ patients a day) -Due to high volume patients, you'll likely need to spend many personal hours charting without pay. Therefore, poor work/life balance and burnout. Some very busy offices have scribes but most don't. -May be required to go to different boroughs to cover different offices depending on how many offices your division boss owns -Arbitrary bonus allocation formula (all based on feels of your division boss) -Read your contract carefully, non-competent may be applicable to every single Rendr offices in NYC. Negotiate your contract. -401k match not credited to your account until the beginning of next year (delays in the match leads to opportunity cost in 401k growth) -Once a month 1.5 hours CME lecture with 30-40% of the time allocating to talking about bottom line topics like quality measures, screening and other parameters that affects company profits and not enough time on medical education. -High staff turnover (including leadership) -In summary, you'll be expected to work much more than typical job with average market pay and poor life/work balance.
