Pros

The company provides their own training and you can get it without any prior experience. If you are someone's favorite a pro for you is usually a promotion because favoritism is a thing. The doctors that you work with can be some of the best people and they can help you in so many ways in deciding what to do with your future.

Cons

The leadership goes unchecked. Chief scribes and project leaders do what they want with no repercussions. You could try and go above them, but that's joke because they only use diplomatic language to provide excuses. There is a probationary period that seems unnecessary and they don't tell you about it until you have to sign a contract for it. Did I mention it pays 2.00 dollars less than what you are expecting to get paid? And it's so funny that the number one complaint is pay and their HR has a diplomatic response every time that is just a cop out. They play favorites. If you don't suck up to the leadership or if they don't just automatically like you...you will be a minimum wage scribe forever. It's pointless to fight it because again they have excuses for everything. This company likes to pretend that they are so amazing and maybe they are the most used scribe company...but that by no means says that they are the best. They have a long way to go before they are the best. That's like saying because McDonald's is a huge burger chain...they have the best burgers around...HAHA.

Pros

Looks good on a resume.

Cons

Low pay and poor training. I did like three days of shadowing only, was only exposed to Cerner twice with very little time to explore. My trainer said my HPI’s were good… but then I got an email from the Chief Scribe saying I am missing too much, so I was pretty confused there. I’m with a different doctor every time, right out of the gate. Also, I only applied for one location, and was then assigned to four.
