Pros

• Part of a large healthcare system with name recognition • Exposure to a fast-paced clinical environment • Opportunity to gain experience juggling clinical and administrative tasks

Cons

• Seriously understaffed and overworked you’ll be running patients, doing POC, covering front desk, and handling admin for multiple providers all at once. • High patient volume and high turnover, so you’re always scrambling. • Supervisor Allison is messy, plays favorites with floats, micromanages, but doesn’t actually back up staff. • Upper management ignores clinical staff .. they just go straight to the doctor and supervisor. Makes you feel invisible. • HR is useless and unresponsive. • RWJ is cheap.. they won’t hire enough staff, so you end up doing way more than your role. • Floats sit in the lab on their phones while you’re doing all the work.

Pros

Great healthcare exposure and hands-on experience. Excellent opportunities for internal mobility and building a professional network for career advancement.

Cons

While I have not personally experienced this issue, I have observed that career advancement and internal mobility opportunities at this organization are often contingent upon maintaining favorable relationships with management. It appears that departmental transfers can be restricted if one is not in favor with leadership.
