Business Outlook

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.
