Vantaggi
The majority of medical providers you work with (doctors, PAs and NPs) actually value you and the job provides decent insight into the health profession. One of the few companies in town that doesn't require a Medical Assistant degree for this type of position.
Svantaggi
Some providers treat you nothing more than a typewriter / personal assistant. Although they can provide valuable information into the healthcare field and the daily life of a doctor, this can also be learned by becoming a nurse technician. For a company about maintenance of electronic medical records and something very computer-heavy, none of the administration or management was well versed in computers. No viable skills for use in furthering your career, as medical scribing counts as job shadowing and not as patient care/contact experience to most medical schools. Position pays minimum wage with only a maximum of two shifts a week, as no full time positions are available unless you become a part of management. You are not provided any breaks on shift. If it is slow you may either try to eat your food in the working areas of the hospital (against TJC compliance) or go take a break, but you will be marked down for it. The management of the company is passive aggressive. Issues or concerns about your performance will be brought up after your shifts instead of corrective management at the time of incidence.
