Pros
The pto and pay is fantastic, one of the only things that keeps the medical assistants at CHAS. My co-workers are amazing people that also keep me around. Benefits are good but they used to be better.
Cons
I used to recommend CHAS to all of my CMA friends, I do not anymore. The workload for CMA's is absolutely ridiculous. It only seems to pile on every month. I have seen several of my amazing co-workers have panic attacks and cry during work hours because we are so overloaded. We are also severely understaffed. Some managers can be outright cruel, but I'm afraid to say anything because I would like to keep my job. When I first started it really felt like we cared about our patients, now it feels so much more about the money. There is also no consistency through out the company. Some clinics are forced to work Saturdays and some are not.
