Pros
Honestly the only pro is that since I was a telescribe, I got to work from home.
Cons
Extremely underpaid, especially for the excruciating amounts of stress and work they make you do. In fact, if you live in New York for example, they won't even hire you because the minimum wage is too high and they don't want to pay you it. It is an 8-10 hour shift, every shift which means sitting typing stressing on your computer for hours, getting paid terribly, working for rude doctors. The company is also extremely unorganized and the management is terrible. They have no idea what is going on and don't even try emailing them if you have a question, they won't respond! It's true what they say, that most doctors treat nurses and their staff very poorly. I worked for one doctor who would just start randomly testing me on medical terminology that had nothing to with the department I worked in and was completely irrelevant just to make fun of the fact I was not familiar with the term and would call me dumb for not knowing it. Because, as an undergraduate premed student who has not yet gone to medical school, of course I am not familiar with every medical term. This should not be a reason to ridicule me for their own ego boost, This job has made me reconsider my decision of wanting to go into medicine because it was so terrible. I give it one star this job is ridiculous.
