Do your homework.
Physician Assistant (PA) in Erwin:
Spend time with other PAs at the practice to determine how much time is spent after hours working. Is there a good work/life balance? Are you getting paid for hours outside of work?
November 2020
Treated as more of an Assistant than anywhere else I have worked.
Physician Assistant (PA) in Oregon City:
Pros: I used to love my job, I have a great team and my patients love me, I like the hours and benefits... when/if I ever get to use them. The hospital tries to be proactive and progressive.
Cons: Multilevel management that is expensive and ineffective, undermines peoples confidence and well-being. Salary less than national average when cost of living considerably higher. Inadequate staffing that doesn't allow people to take vacation or sick time. Treated poorly by management, leadership does not respond or care about issues/concerns. Have to pay to park at work, or spend 2 more hours on public transit. Extremely difficult to get promoted. Lack of transparency, archaic old white male privilege. Lack of communication or cohesion.
September 2020
Underpaid in pandemic.
Physician Assistant (PA) in Phoenix:
Pros: Cutting edge medicine, forward thinking, interesting cases
Cons: epicenter of pandemic
