Responsibility is not equivalent with pay

Pros

Medical experience. Networking in the healthcare field. Management experience.

Cons

There are no significant goals as far as career paths go. The only clear movement up towards management ends at JPL's, in which the pay to travel ratio is so pathetic that no one should ever consider it.

ER Scribe

Pros

Great experience if you want to get into the medical field. You get to learn a lot and you work alongside medical providers. Prior to getting the position, I didn't have any experience or education when it came to medicine, so my vocabulary was very limited. However, many of the providers understood this and did a lot to help me along the way. You also learn to type pretty fast. Prior to starting, I was typing 50 wpm at best. Now this is my average speed. You also learn to multitask, especially when you have to document the progress of treatment in the ER.

Cons

The pay isn't all that great considering what you get exposed to. Some people won't be able to handle seeing people in pain and those people will learn very quickly if the ER is for them. The ER is an unpredictable environment and very stressful. The scope of the position limits the social interaction I got with patients. You'll spend most of your time typing and talking to providers, nurses and secretaries, but very rarely the patient. Days are long from 8-12 hours. 8 and 12 hour days are rare. The 10 hour shifts, depending on the volume of patients can be exhausting.

Pros

The experience gained working as a scribe is a great way to gain experience prior to entering medical school. You learn a lot of about the documentation that goes into medical care.

Cons

The pay is not that great, minimum wage. Management expects perfection from you after 5 days of cursory training. It was very unrealistic in my opinion. Training should be several times per week for a month. Not five shifts.
