Pros
Office life- Robin hires students so it's cool coming into the office and seeing familiar faces. The office is dog friendly and some of the scribes bring their dogs, which can be a great perk to the day. They also provide snacks and drinks in the break room, which is super convenient.
Location- Perfect location for UT students. Parking is expensive so nice to be able to walk from campus. It also has nice little spots to go on your breaks like Lucky Lab Coffee or Pluckers!
Pay- This job is really what you make it. It starts ABOVE minimum wage and you have the potential to move up in the company, which in turn increases your pay. Overtime works same as any company, over 40 hours in a week is time and a half.
Schedules- If you're part-time, you're hitting around 20 hours. Full-time is about 40. The office has wide hours of operation so you can cater your schedule around your classes. Pretty accommodating to time-off requests.
Office culture- They host regular office gatherings and an annual Christmas Party. They supply food and drinks for these. Also have lunch catered regularly in the office, which is nice.
Actual job- You get the experience of scribing without the cons of in-person scribing (no time to eat lunch, sitting by yourself all day, having to act like a fly on the wall while patients awkwardly stare at you). Robin is reaching out into different specialties of doctors so it's nice to have opportunities to see different stuff before you go to your PA/NP/MD programs.
Company as a whole- Robin is a start-up and with that, a lot of things are changing, but all for the better. They believe in the company they are building and it's cool to be able to give your input and see that come to fruition. I believe in their mission to improve the lives of physicians and the physicians do too.
Cons
Parking- It is expensive in this area so if you have to drive, be prepared to pay a boatload in the parking garage.
