Pros
You get to experience other parts of the country (keep in mind that may not always be a good thing). Working in various specialties with different providers and learning multiple EMR systems is very good experience. Learning to implement projects (depending on the manager at the site, you may be more independently leading these or being micromanaged). Housing is paid for by the company as a traveling project manager.
Cons
The deeper you get into the company, the more it’s revealed what a mess it really is. Every employee is overworked and under payed below the salaried positions (those employees are still overworked, but at least they’re paid better). Because the position is hourly, at times when projects are in a lull (which can happen often depending on the project) you have to fight for your hours. This may mean 3 weeks of 40 hours a week straight recruiting. You can’t clock in on the holidays for anything other than clinical shifts because of “good company morale.” ScribeAmerica wants employees to spend the holidays with family and friends for good work/life balance. But as a traveler, you often won’t get to be with family and friends on the holidays because you’ve been relocated. So you can’t be with those people and you can’t work. You often won’t be told everything you are getting into until it’s happening- which is often because no one knows what’s going on most of the time. Most of the company is run by people under 30 y/o with little to no real outside business experience. As a project manager it can be very confusing at times to know who your management actually is and near impossible to develop any kind of relationship with them. Want a reference? It’s probably not coming from one of your managers. Your life is your job. You literally uproot your life to work the job and move every few months and you’re barely compensated for it. You are put in the position between the client and corporate ScribeAmerica- you are the middle man. The pressure is put on you from both directions and when the client is not happy with ScribeAmerica, ScribeAmerica is not happy with you. Keep in mind we are mostly mid-twenty-something’s with no business experience dealing with physicians, medical directors, and hospital administrators.
