The doctors are paid well, but the employees that do all the tedious back office work are very underpaid. They still are qualified for government benefits. It doesn't matter if you show up everyday or if you miss a day a week. The benefits and promises given in interview are never met and never room to grow. The politics there are very judgmental and the toxic behavior that is allowed there is ridiculous. You are overworked and underpaid. The toxicity of management , you cannot talk to HR and feel confident that you're being listened to. Your words will be used against you and leaving employee feeling like there's nowhere to turn for help. Employees have no voice, The workplace culture are driven to the toxic people, they weed out the good employees that show up everyday on time and ready to learn but allow the ones that are repeat call outs and are charged with many felonies to keep their jobs.
You want the old saying is " If it sounds to good it's usually a lie! Highly don't recommend the place, I've seen over 50 ppl come and go within months, the turn over is SUPER high, if your a good reliable, honest employee looking for a company to grow this is NOT it!! 

For the most part, I enjoyed day-to-day work. Patient interactions were the best part of the day. I had the pleasure of working with doctors who were kind, knowledgeable, and caring. From a management standpoint? Abysmal. I have never seen a place where so many employees seem fed up or disinterested in their work. Communication between management and the employees is near nothing. They expect perfection but have no willingness to create an environment that fosters success and efficiency. It also concerns me that not one person in a leadership position has a genuine concern for their employees. Every location is constantly understaffed, asking employees to perform tasks that are not in their job description. Raises? Forget about it. You are guaranteed ~4-8 hours worth of training, outside of the orientation, before you're thrown into a busy work day. No gas compensation even if they make a scheduling error and have you drive an additional 30+ minutes to get to another clinic. If this is a full-time job, you'll be happier somewhere else. If this is for the clinical experience, you'll see yourself wanting to leave after 3 months. 

I worked here for 3 months. In that time, I received little to no training for anything. I began working with a specific doctor, and was able to travel to different locations with him on certain days. Patients were awesome, loved the doctor I worked with, hours were great. But the management has no idea how anything works on the back office end of things. I was an intake coordinator, and I did the jobs of the scribes and TCCs. Any time issues arose, I emailed my managers for clarification and asked for more training and guidance. None was ever given, but I continued to work my tail off at the job and the patients and provider I worked with genuinely seemed to like me. I was let go yesterday, and they didn’t give me the respect of telling me why or giving me an explanation. It wasn’t even my clinic manager that let me go, it was someone who is never at the clinic I worked at and has never seen me work. I was given no notice and was under the assumption that things were going great. I loved this job and put everything I had into it, and upper management continues to let people go despite being short staffed at the clinic. I wasn’t the first one let go, and I likely won’t be the last. Don’t apply 

SOS scribing has the potential to be a great opportunity to work in a team environment and learn about orthopedics and develop other professional skills. However, I would say it is not worthwhile due to the vastly variable experience an employee may have depending on factors outside your control. There is high potential here to end up in a toxic workplace scenario. 

Pros
- experience opportunities 
- team environment 
- somewhat flexible with schedules

Cons
- poor pay
- overworked (providers will book excessive numbers of patients with minimal staff) 
- disorganized (you will not know where or when you are working until the end of a work day) 
- sink or swim environment. Your ability to succeed in this job will depend on the kindness and patience of your coworkers.
- If you are unlucky you will be permanently assigned to providers who will make life a nightmare. 
- pay is unequal to work. Depending on who you are assigned to, you may be forced to work significantly harder and longer than your coworkers with no change in compensation and no ability to transfer to a different team. 
-excessive travel that is not accounted for in pay. 


Working for the company you’ll learn a lot from the environment that you are in and you won’t know what time you’re getting in until the end of shift sometimes…The people that you work with are people that you have to get use to and this is a job so you definitely have to watch what you say to different people. I mean like I said it’s not horrible working here it’s just fast paced and I’m cool with that…I just wish they had a little more order when it comes down to certain things You just have to be prepared to work a fast pace environment and there’s never a set schedule so if you think that then don’t come work for the company. You will be working longer hours there’s no 8hr shift you’ll be working some 10hr days which is nice to get a little extra on your time…The pay is reasonable I mean if you’re a single person with no responsibilities…Other than that the companies not that bad. And I would say this job is not for the weak cause you’re not only dealing with coworkers but clients as well everyday

The patients were best part about working for Southeast Orthopedic

Little to no direction. Supervisor was out most of the time. The directors made sure that if they didn't like you, they wouldn't help.

Everything, too much work for too little pay. There is favoritism which it ridiculous. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile and nerve reckoning, I watched people walk in, stay for a day or two and walk right back out. Stating the job was the most stressful job ever.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Drive to work, park in the parking lot at work and immediately want to go back home. Clock in, calls needs to be 3 minutes or less, constant messages asking are you ok?, because your call is over 3 mins, stressed out. You would think your working for a call center again and the supervisors is on your case about call duration but, it is a medical office and then I clock out

Typically working for Southeast Orthopedic Specialists means that you will consistently work in high stress areas for about 10-12 hours a day. The employees are friendly and can seem almost family like. However, the work load is immense and almost does not seem worth the minimum payment. Career Advancement exists but only if you are in the right time a the right place. The company has a high turn around rate mostly due to the stress versus payment aspect. Your social life will slightly suffer working for this company. Upper management always seem to be confused and inter-department communication is extremely lacking.

I’ve been with the company less than six months.  Our team is meant to function with ten employees.  In that time five people have been terminated. In addition, two people have walked out without notice.  My bosses spend much of their time interviewing.  Training and growth are very limited.  The training we do get is when we are being written up for something we didn’t even know was wrong.  Everyone goes through each day worried they are going to get fired, or we’ve reached the limit under immense stress.  At which point we leave without notice.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
The doctors were very nice to work with.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Cheap medical supplies, begging for supplies needed,  poor patient care, horrible computer system, wanting employees to travel all over the place from St. Augustine to Jax. Staff is not trained in proper medical procedures. Don't give yearly raises. No IT support when needed. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible. Low work morale. Horrible management and "team leaders" let a little bit of power go to their heads. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very stressful and with horrible patient care I left the company.
