Pros

You'll get paid once or twice for your trouble

Cons

This company is actually a scam - they profit from keeping people on the payroll, using certain remote work tools, and enjoying their tax breaks. I was hired twice - once for $11 an hour and once for $17 an hour. Doing the same job. I had so many supervisors, but not a single one could tell me what was going on and why it took 4 months after completing ScribeU to be assigned to a site. The root of all my problems with the company is that no work was available, even though they reached out to me with an offer. My manager told me that an outside company sends blind leads for new hires, negotiates pay, and then ScribeAmerica is notified and you start after signing with that 3rd party and getting a background check through yet another business. They sent me a laptop/monitor/mouse/headphones, all arriving on different days in different packages, but I had not been assigned a work site. Then they expected me to take time to get a drug test in a town 400 miles away, because that was the closest LabCorp location to me. When I reached out to my manager, it took 2 weeks for her to find out that I could go to the local walk-in clinic and get a drug test AND a COVID vaccine, because my site required it -- I was 100% remote. They had no idea I had ever been previously hired until I informed my manager after 4 months of employment. The entire operation stinks to high heaven.

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.
