Pros

Great experience of being in a medical setting and getting a behind the scenes perspective

Cons

Pay is $7.25 with no benefits, management is not responsive in communicating with you - expect delays of months for your application to process, the training does not prepare you for the actual job and I have witnessed many scribes be treated poorly/harrased by the "chief scribes." Also a warning that they over hire and make you complete all the training up until bed-side training, only to cut you at that point, many of my peers from "classroom" training were cut after the 3 months of prolonged classroom training. All in all they are completely exploiting pre-medical students and they rake in millions every year. The company does not care about you...word of advice would be to get your experience and leave.

Pros

I believe there's flexibility in some hours. Paid training.

Cons

My onboarding process has taken over 2 months and I've only clocked in for mandatory trainings with little to no communication from managers or hiring staff. $10 an hour.
