The Dermatology Specialists

I should have caught the red flags as soon as I learned employees do not get lunch breaks. You work 10 hour shifts eating when you can, if you can. If you take breaks, you hear people talking about the audacity and selfishness you have to sit down and eat. You work until you see stars but you still must be able to oblige to whatever you're told to do and perform it PERFECTLY. 
Everyday I heard terrible things about the very CEO of the company; I mean what kind of company is okay with being terrified that the CEO, Bobby Buka, will make a surprise visit to the office you're working at?? I heard employees say they are perfectly fine working this job as long as they never have to meet Mr. Buka because he's terrible (and does sketchy things like bill illegally). Shouldn't you want to meet the CEO and create connections?..The team is usually not friendly and prefers to stick to themselves. You're not there to make friendships but 10 hours 4x a week do go by easier when you know you have a great team with you. Mangement will change your home location without informing you until last minute; they don't care if the commute works for you or not. For the amount you are paid, you are asked to perform serious patient procedures and know from dilutions of botox, steroids, settings of cosmetic machines, set up procedures, wound dressings, etc within 2 weeks of working. If you don't know it, a lot of providers look down at you and may complain to managers. 
No one likes Gil at the company who apparently is in charge of basically everything (but he probably is the only one who seems to work, so kudos to him). You soon register that everything about the company is VERY TOXIC and work environments do not have to be that way. Maybe like 3 providers of the company are actually worth working with. I guess just another thing, the cherry on top perhaps, the janitor told me the sites are haunted, which whether you believe in ghosts or not, you will feel the dark and somber atmosphere of almost all clinics get to your mental health. Y'all deserve better. I never knew this corporation could make CityMD look better but WOW. Might as well apply there. 

To be fair, this is a great job to get some experience and build some connections with providers. Overall, depending on the offices you work at, the providers are mostly young, intelligent and nice. The atmosphere is great since all the staff is usually very chill and laid back. The true problems of this company lead back to HR. They simply do not care about you and you’re all replaceable in their eyes. They will use you to your best fit and make business choices that do not make sense just cause they’re power tripping. 

Many medical assistants apply and are told that the location that’s more convenient for them is fully staffed so they are placed in a location that is inconvenient for them. They get you to do this by saying “we will move your home office once your 3 month probationary period is over or when we have space in that office.” Even if that office you want to move to is highly understaffed, they’d rather hire new people into that office rather than simply just moving you. HR doesn’t realize that some medical assistants are not replaceable. 

To begin, the overall culture of this workplace is very toxic as a result of poor management pushing unrealistic expectations. 
Certain managers at TDS will work you like a horse. 
They have no consideration for your personal schedule and expect you to go to a different office last-minute. 
This company has a policy of not compensating unused PTO so if you're considering quitting, use up your PTO prior.
You will not get any recognition for going above and beyond and there is no room for improvement at this job. 
If you're applying, make sure you are fairly compensated because they will nickel and dime you.
HR and management are very difficult to work with and they are very rigid with their scheduling as mentioned before. Your personal life will severely suffer as a result of this.
The only benefits at this company are the free drug rep lunches. Don't hold your breath for a bonus unless you consider a $10 Starbucks card a bonus.

Ever wanted to experience being overworked and overwhelmed while being underpaid? You’ve found the right company! 
Don’t get me wrong, the providers and other staff members are nice and treat you like an actual human being. The work becomes tolerable and even somewhat fun when you’re able to chat with the other receptionists and even the MA’s! When you look at the managers and higher ups then that’s when you remember how insufferable the place really is…They make false promises (say they’ll order an Uber to take you to and from the location they want you to cover and then suddenly rides aren’t being approved) and expect you to be available at their every beck and call (cover here or get a write up), it’s a complete joke. The company goes through more employees than the amount of times we can blink in a day yet they continue to expand. At least the training and lunch is paid and befriending the other staff is nice


They do not care about you. They really don't. They cut your hours without giving you a warning, they float you from office to office when they tell you in the interview that you are gong to be placed in a certain location. Is bad. So many people quit. Providers, front desk, medical assistants. Patient complain about the call center to find out that the center is not even in the US. They take advantage of college students because they don't know better and they are young, so don't bother if you think you will develop a career here. Not the place!

they have no patience for the new employees that come in the job. they try to bribe you with free food to make themselves look like a family oriented job but its really a toxic environment. management and hr a joke. if they do not like you they will find every excuse in the book to write you up. when people say hr is NOT YOUR friend,m that is exactly what they mean. this is definitely not the job for a new graduate. The famous saying is 'not everyone is going to get it, they really mean you about to loose your job as soon as you get it. if you have never worked in derm and you are not a genius robot, do dont apply here. they have the 1.5 star they are trying to hide for a reason.

They are only good for one thing. Absolutely nothing.  Offer little to no flexibility working with them. Pay often gets shortened without explanation.

As a former employee of this establishment, a typical day at work can be stressful, chill and/or straight up terrible. Upper management is just straight up trash. Poor leadership, too much pettiness and favoritism. A COO that has no clue what/how dermatology works except for the money side of it. (And a terrible human being).  The hardest part of the job is keeping up with the constant changes and demands from the upper management. Do yourselves a favor and stay clear from this toxic company. 

Terrible management, training isn’t helpful at all but they expect you to know everything as if you were a seasoned employee. Horrible environment to work in. Managers have no compassion and people are too afraid of losing their job to speak up. Receptionist team is also toxic, Only way management will like you as a receptionist is to be a kiss up. Don’t expect to stand up for yourself and receive a positive response. They will schedule you less in return. All in all, do not apply if this isn’t your last option.

This job was the worse experience I have ever had. "Training" is not training but rather an evaluation. A little amount of training for an abundance of tasks. MAs are uncertified as well. Too much falls on the shoulders of MAs while providers are barely responsible for anything. The two trainers are terrible as well. One is a workaholic and will find something to do and the other spends his time socializing. ONLY APPLY IF THIS IS YOUR LAST OPTION.
