What is it like working as a Medical Assistant?

High cost, Low Pay.

January 2020
I feel like my soul is dying, every day when my alarm goes off.
Medical Assistant in Vancouver:
Pros: The doctor I work with, my co-workers and my direct manager.
Cons: Extremely punitive. Many of my co-workers are taking care of patient's while they are sick or have a fever. When the patient asks, we tell them it's just allergies. We take care of sick people each day and get in trouble when we get sick and in trouble for using our sick time.
We're constantly short staffed. Many times when a clinician calls out, they don't have a big enough float pool to cover, ill call or vacation. So we have to split a clinician's patient's up between 4-5 MA's.
Kaiser likes to talk about themselves like they are the best place to work and care so much about their patients health, but it's just about herding the patient's in and out as fast as you can.
Every single one of my co-workers HATE their job. So I don't understand how Kaiser is on the best place to work list.
We are always out of supplies
Management will listen to your ideas, so you are always heard. When your manager presents them to upper management only to be told no, no matter how great of an idea it is.
There is so much more, I could seriously write a book.

It’s a very fast paced environment.
Medical Assistant in Roseville:
Pros: Interacting and learning new things and seeing new things about skin everyday
Cons: The pay
December 2019
Not a forever job..
Medical Assistant in Mukilteo:
Pros: Some of the nursing staff is great. A lot of the surgeons are great and the patients are amazing! Matching 401K and they’re willing to work our vacation times with you.
Cons: Nursing staff getting close to retirement are extremely difficult to work with, underpaid, not valued as a member of the team unless you have an equivalent degree. The raises are change and the work you have to put into getting a raise in the first place, isn’t even worth it.
December 2019
I love my job....sometimes!
Medical Assistant in Piqua:
Pros: I love helping people
Cons: Being yelled at for things that I have no control over.
