The company (ScribeAmerica) is really awful. The doctors try to buy us a meal to eat while working to make up for that, although they don't always come through. Where I work, we cannot take breaks although we work 10 hour shifts, because the doctors do not take breaks. I work in an emergency department and LOVE the doctors I work with. If you are a pre-health professional, this job is a great opportunity to learn the flow of healthcare, medical terminology, names of medications, procedures, and overall the details that go into patient care. Additionally, upper management needs to better train their chief scribes OR have chief scribes that are older/more experienced. But I don't think it's great to have people who barely have any more experience than you managing. Overall, I got a lot of good experience and I learned a lot. A few times I had my schedule changed on me after it had been published WITHOUT any notification that it had been changed.Īnother complaint is that they lowered my raise AFTER my promotion (not punishing me for anything, just because they switched the way the whole system works), which I do not think was fair, given that part of my application/acceptance of the new role was influenced by the increased wage. Additionally, I got scolded for being scheduled for 50-something hours one week by two different managers (I worked in multiple departments and they apparently just didn't communicate when scheduling that time). I was told by my manager at the time that I should have clocked out (while continuing to work) because it "wasn't fair to the other employees" to log extra hours since the ER shifts were supposed to be split exactly into 6 hours. One ER shift I stayed past the scheduled time because we were still in the room with the patient. You had 22 year olds managing other 22 year olds. I loved the departments I worked in, but the company itself was inconsistent. I had mixed feelings about working for ScribeAmerica. They blame turnover on people leaving to go to medical school, but people - more. They will secretly join the call on random days of the month for "quality assurance" Management does not look for good fit and common interests when placing scribes with providers, they only go by availability If you are unhappy, good luck trying to get anyone's attention, they will just look for reasons to fire you If you try to switch to a different team your manager will deny the request You are stuck wherever they want to place you. There is bonus pay for admin duties, but if you need hours it's easier for them to just have you scribe, so you essentially never get the bonus pay They string you along, interview you for promotions, talk about new opportunities, but it is just a carrot at the end of a stick No training, other than one or two shadow shift if you are lucky If a doctor complains, your boss puts the blame on you, no one takes responsibility for how badly this company is run The schedule is never correct, and the use of two different scheduling apps (Workday & Humanity) makes it difficult to take time off The company can hire you as full time, but they will run out of work to give you and you will become part time Very corporate, lack of empathy, robotic, no leadership skills Management is terrible, unless you get lucky in your placement. Can be chill, depending on which doctor you work with
