Pros

You don't work 5 days a week but they are so short staffed that scheduling harasses you on your days off to come in and work.

Cons

They have you on as a 10.5 hours shift but as many patients can sign in up to closing which means you never know when you get off work. It could be 7:30pm or 9pm, you just never know. They tell you in the interview that you have a Medical Assistant (or PCT) all the time but you don't. Which means you have to answer the phone which rings nonstop, check in people, put in their insurance, take payment, actually see the patient, clean the room afterwards, chart on them, and in the mean time call patients back about their labs, or fill out tedious long paperwork to order labs. Its like a one person family practice.

They hire you on with expectation you will know that job on day 1. Not very organized as far as communication skills are. They dont tell you if make errors.

Pros

Pay is average for a retail health position. You will have all of the supplies and tools you need to do your job. Marketing manager is really nice and does a great job.

Cons

The management team is not supportive of the providers. We are treated like a medical assistant, or an low-wage hourly employee. I have never been fired or written up by an employer, and am not a "trouble maker", but am so unhappy with this company's treatment that I felt moved to write this review. We receive very demeaning and threatening emails from management with follow up emails with a bullying tone from our "medical director" We were told this week that we have to see every patient that walks in the clinic, and if we have to stay late, "so be it". (This is after a 11 hour shift!!!) The medical director followed up by saying if we don't like it to find another job. They also micromanage the clinic terribly. I have never been micromanaged so bad in any job in my life. Bottom line, if you don't mind being devalued and constantly watched by management in a position that should be autonomous, this is the place for you.
