Registered dietitian - Recensione dipendente - Registered Dietitian presso LifeStyle Medical Center

Coworkers feel like family, laid back, room to grow and learn, great place to learn medical skills that you otherwise couldn't get anywhere but in an expense and time-consuming program

I can't think of many. It is hard to have any upward mobility if you don't have an advanced degree - but Eric and Meredith try to make it happen where they can. Maybe the pay could have been higher.

Supporting patients while they lose weight is very rewarding

The job is advertised as paying $30-$40/hr (the normal rate for most RD jobs in the area), but the pay is based on billable time. No matter what you're told about how "busy" they are, you'll never have a full schedule, so you'll end up with lots of unpaid time between appointments - dragging your actual pay down to an unreasonably low rate. Top that off with not having a cancellation/rescheduling/no-show policy. Each day appx 30% of your booked appointments don't happen (you're there, but not being paid). Try bringing any of this up and you'll be told you're being "negative" while the character assassination campaign against you begins. Turnover is very high - even 3 different medical directors in the past few years. Patients constantly complain that the office doesn't answer the phone! Weekly meetings are required, but you aren't paid for that time either. You only fit in if you're willing to pretend this is all normal and acceptable. The actual patient care is infused with the magical thinking of clinicians who think they know more about nutrition than they actually do. Patients suffer with wading through conflicting advice and having meds pushed on them the minute they walk through the door.
