When you are first hired you are inundated with how wonderful Renown is and you feel optimistic but the reality of working for this company is much darker.
Everywhere I worked we were short staffed. In the back of my mind red flags were going off but it couldn't really be that bad could it?
I was repeatedly put into workdays that were 13 hours or more with no breaks and no lunches. There was no time we were too overwhelmed we could barely use the restroom if we were lucky. When I first addressed this to management they stated "That is just how it is."
There is no work life balance I barely saw my family.
When I finally got firm about these Nevada Labor Law violations is when they started to panic and scramble to get me to human resources.
I could see that this is indeed "Just the way it is" and resigned.
If you are being hired as a Medical Assistant be aware that the amount of work you will be required to do is absolutely insane for the very low pay they give you.
Be aware that Physicians, Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners are provided an appropriate salary for the long hours they endure but as a Medical Assistant they will absolutely bleed your soul dry without a second thought.
I was also and exempt employee so I didn't qualify for overtime but my supervisor stated she had no problem working me into overtime. Excuse me?
