It’s just a job

Scheduling coordinator

Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home, the hours

Cons

Pay pay pay. Other departments are receiving raises but the Appointment Center only gets the company wide rise every year. People are leaving in groups for other hospitals due to pay. Management is a revolving door. Trainers don’t know anything and when you ask one of the Supervisors a question, she never knows anything. They promote not by what you know but if they like you. Applied for a Senior and training position several times and was declined but they gave it to someone who asks ridiculous questions.

Pros

The Atmosphere is fantastic! My Co Workers are helpful!

Cons

Pay is not great. It is causing me to look elsewhere. Ive asked HR and Bosses to explain pay ladders as I should be on a higher Mark but no one answers questions.
