ScribeAmerica Company review

Pros

You get great exposure to the medical field so for premed students it's definitely a great experience.

Cons

They pay is very low. The company culture prioritizes profits over basic employee satisfaction. Also the experience depends on the environment of the medical facility you work in. Initially I worked in an ED, which was teamwork oriented and valued its employees and in this position I learned a great deal and enjoyed coming in to work despite the pay. In my current location at a primary care clinic, the employees are difficult to deal with, and the environment isn't very friendly. Other scribe companies tend to pay more to start out also.

Best Job. Worst Company.

Pros

Working with doctors, PAs, nurses, techs, etc.

Cons

The infrastructure of this company is an absolute joke. They pay absolute peanuts. I understand this is a great job for the pre-health applications so its a trade off, but as a Chief Scribe managing 25+ employees, they should up the pay a little at least. The upper management team is terrible, no idea what they are doing.

Pros

Increase in pay to $13/hr. Increased skill building in leadership, management, etc. Closer relationship with providers and other staff. I will always recommend scribing (in an ER especially) because the knowledge I am walking away with is invaluable. I feel as though I am entering medical school with an advantage because I have already been tuned on how to talk to patients, how to think like a physician, and common medical decision making (MDM) for certain symptoms. Not to mention the drug knowledge, medical terminology, and other immediate benefits. Not great pay, but worth it for the experience.

Cons

Even when you're not at work, you're at work. Ultimately responsible for staffing shifts, so that means you get stuck with shifts when someone doesn't show, calls out, or you can't find other coverage. Many times this means working overtime or holidays. Holidays pays time and half, as does overtime. Holiday pay doesn't count towards "regular hours" so if you work a holiday and later in the week exceed 40 hours, you don't get paid overtime because the holiday pay is grouped separately. Lots of seemingly useless work (lots of Excel spreadsheets with information that is arbitrary).
