Polyclinic Reviews

- Over the last 4 years or so they have been stripping away benefits and salary by quite a bit. - Incredibly high medical premiums when attempting to cover kids or a spouse. This year’s changes are: We pay way more (double out of check, double at the doctor) for far less coverage. - The 401(k) just took a big hit in value and they decided to tell us only after it was too late to change our contributions. Also you must be employed 12/31 to retain that year's employer matches and profit share. I foresee an annual January exodus. - $130/month for parking and this tends to be raised by $10-15 about twice a year. No carpool discounts. - Bus pass is not free and if you don't use it for a span of 3 weeks, they stop putting money on it, but DO NOT STOP TAKING THE MONEY OUT OF YOUR PAYCHECK. - No tuition reimbursement. Unless you hold a license/degree in the medical field, this is a dead end job. When they took this away they essentially cut down any path for upward mobility. - Unless you hold a license/degree in the medical field you will realize that your opinion is meaningless. You could be as right as right can be but you won't be listened to... It's basically educational discrimination. - Management/Administrators are mostly only concerned about their quarterly bonuses to the detriment of their average employee’s wages/benefits. Greed is truly the unspoken motto here. - Some doctors routinely abuse "lesser" employees and they are tolerated because they bring in A LOT of revenue. - Decisions are often made by people who don't actually know/understand the facts. Some management don't even know how to log into any of the programs used. - Because they are having budgetary problems due to buying a building they could not afford, The Madison location is a very hostile work environment. You will feel as though your job is constantly at stake. - HIGH turnover rate... go figure.

The Polyclinic orientation is a façade. Outside vendors supply their onboarding literature - no originality, creativity or vision. There is awful buffoonery during Polyclinic attempted software instruction. During your orientation they ask you to sign their job description agreement, and it has two pages of medical assistant duties, and then at the end, there is a clause that basically says management can ask you to do what ever management directs. A medical assistant may be asked to: change your job title everyday, empty garbage everyday, perhaps they'll ask you to do something outside your scope. Who knows? They ought to make you write that part of their job description out in long hand to make sure you recognize it. It's wrong to take advantage of a new medical assistant by asking them to sign a document which states Polyclinic can ask a medical assistant to do anything. Polyclinic hoodwinks new medical assistants at most vulnerable time, and they really ought to be ashamed of that. The folks who represent management run an obvious rigged game. You can tell by the way they speak to you, an hourly employee, and the way they speak with each other. These are folks who have no insight in healthcare, or care for their medical assistants, let alone the people who come there to provide revenue, or may really be looking for medical help. The management at Polyclinic is fake. It's best to speak with Polyclinic management like you are trying out to be in a toilet paper commercial. If you expect to keep your job here: do maintain a blunted affect; do not look at anyone directly; do keep your smartphone in your hand to appear awake, but allowing you to avoid direct communication with anyone while your at Polyclinic, do not exceed a working vocabulary of 200 or so words; speak in fragments, blend out, become a fixture. As an employee, its understood you have nothing to say. Don't expect your attempts at email with supervisors to be answered. Supervisors have no shame in flagrantly ignoring you. There is no honest "above-board" employee communication at Polyclinic. If your intention is to professionally help people who need help, this is not the place for you. Polyclinic seems to be deaf (they don't want to hear or listen) and dumb (mgmt appears to not have real experience with people). Like other folks have said here, patient care is really an afterthought.
