Pros
I've worked my way up to chief scribe and transferred from one site to a different site. Great opportunities for advancement. Education is invaluable. Never ending learning opportunities. Compensation is basic but I mean you're getting paid to basically shadow providers and watch procedures. SO worth it if you're serious about going into the healthcare field.
Cons
Stressful. But from experience I've learned that it depends on the site and speciality. Definitely hardest by far is orthopedic surgery and dermatology just due to patient load. Less stressful ones would be ER, pain management, and general surgery.
