Pros
TL;DR- Great entry level medical experience for those going into the field. Steep learning curve. Scribing was fantastic for preparing me for medical school applications and interviews and definitely played a part in getting accepted. You learn a ton and get to work closely with providers.
Cons
TL;DR Poor pay, often poor management, high turnover rate, steep learning curve. Company has very high turnover rate as the majority of employees are only there to get experience to apply to PA/MD/DO school, and pay is $10 or minimum wage, whichever is higher. As all management gets minimal raises, and is all internal hires, this leads to high turnover rate of management and a staff of managers that are inexperienced. The job itself can be tough for extroverts, as you stand silently in the corner for the majority of the day.
