Pros

Flexible schedule as PRN Fine management

Cons

Despite this being a “receptionist” position where you are expected to wear dress shoes, you are expected to stand every time someone comes in. Some locations even have you stand more than sitting. I have not had any patients comment positively on this, but I have had patients say it’s overwhelming or seems senseless. Standing up just to sit back down or walking patients to an area just 10 steps away seems redundant. Wayfinding for more difficult areas is completely sensible, but I think the position should be the same as any other medical office and standing this doesn’t contribute to a “remarkable experience” it is simply more of a nuisance. Employees who work directly with patients are not heard, we are expected to blindly follow the “SPARK initiative.” I have worked here for over two years, but with the raise of company minimum, I am not paid the same as an employee who just started. I have mentioned this to management to no avail. I have asked numerous times to become part time because with my seniority, I believe I deserve benefits, guaranteed hours, and PTO like my colleagues. This is how you lower morale and lose good employees.

Pros

Of all the companies I have worked for Novant has been the best experience. I moved back into leadership after years of having stepped back from leadership due to burnout and frustration. Novant invests more than any company I have seen in both frontline and leader development, with cohesive messaging about priorities. I truly enjoy the teams I work with.

Cons

IT was moved to overseas a few years back. They back-pedaled on this and moved some aspects back to domestic coverage, but overall, I can't see where this improves operational efficiency despite surface level savings.

Pros

I had a great experience as a Research Assistant at Novant Health. The team was welcoming, collaborative, and supportive of learning. I gained valuable experience in clinical research, data collection, patient interactions, and working alongside healthcare professionals. The environment encouraged professional growth, and I appreciated the opportunity to contribute to meaningful research while developing skills that will benefit my future career in healthcare.

Cons

Depending on the project, the workload could fluctuate, and some tasks were repetitive, such as data entry and documentation. However, these responsibilities are a normal part of research and helped reinforce attention to detail.
