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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. Welcome to the ScribeAmerica team! We are so glad to hear you are having a great experience with us so far, and we are very excited to help you prepare for whatever your future career goals are. As a reminder, we do offer a referral bonus for anybody you refer to work with ScribeAmerica, so please talk with your manager to get all the details on that. We also do like to promote from within and a large portion of our higher level management/corporate roles/etc all started out as scribes themselves. If you ever have an interest in learning more about other roles that would be available to you, or ways to prepare to apply to those types of roles, please feel free to reach out to tasupport@scribeamerica.com and we would be happy to talk with you further.

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.
