Pros

Good inside experience in the medical field.

Cons

Very low pay, starting at $10/hour which is about $2.50 below the average starting rate for scribes at other companies. Huge amount of learning and level of responsibility with the access to sensitive medical information which is not reflected in the pay. Little to no support at the local level beyond the chief scribe role which makes success of the site extremely difficult. Huge turnover rate due to poor pay and high levels of responsibility and long hours.

Pros

The clinic I was at (i.e. the contracting client) was full of lovely people who I really enjoyed working with. The doctors were great and I learned so much.

Cons

If you're thinking about applying for this job, I'd advise keeping your previous one for at least the first two months. Because, as I found out, you are entirely disposable to SA, especially if you dare to not be absolutely perfect from day one. I was hired on, passed the entrance exam, and passed my initial floor training. I had been on the floor solo LESS THAN ONE MONTH when a few minor issues with my performance came up and they put me on a PIP and threatened to fire me. Instead of bringing these issues to my attention and asking me to fix them (which I could have done so easily it's laughable) or giving a verbal warning, or... any sort of intervention at all, they went straight to threatening to fire me. At first, I thought it was just my manager not knowing how to do her job, but a discussion with her led me to realize this mindset of "be perfect right away or get out" is endemic to ScribeAmerica. As someone who wanted to step into a training role in the future, but had no desire to enforce that sort of belief, I ran, fast. Oh, and as for hours? 1. The "20-30 hours of paid training" they say you'll get? It's more like 8 hrs of them reading you PowerPoints, and then you spending two weeks teaching yourself while not getting paid. Enjoy that. 2. I signed on for full time, was promised 40hrs/week. I made that number 1 week in my time there. And after seeing my schedule for the next month before I quit, I knew wouldn't have after that either.
