Pros
• Part of a large healthcare system with name recognition
• Exposure to a fast-paced clinical environment
• Opportunity to gain experience juggling clinical and administrative tasks
Cons
• Seriously understaffed and overworked you’ll be running patients, doing POC, covering front desk, and handling admin for multiple providers all at once.
• High patient volume and high turnover, so you’re always scrambling.
• Supervisor Allison is messy, plays favorites with floats, micromanages, but doesn’t actually back up staff.
• Upper management ignores clinical staff .. they just go straight to the doctor and supervisor. Makes you feel invisible.
• HR is useless and unresponsive.
• RWJ is cheap.. they won’t hire enough staff, so you end up doing way more than your role.
• Floats sit in the lab on their phones while you’re doing all the work.
