I enjoyed working for Johns Hopkins.
Registered Medical Assistant/Clinical Supervisor (Current Employee) – Bowie, MD – May 14, 2018
Very great company to work for. Benefits are excellent and there is opportunity for growth within. Fun work place and great emphasis on team work. I would recommend this company.
Men don't last long here
Practice Administrator (Former Employee) – Baltimore, MD – December 11, 2018
JHCP is very racist toward men. The VP has fired most of the males or ran them out the org. Diversity use to mean something at Hopkins but not anymore. There is a lack of diversity with males and minorities. The VP has issues with males so if your trying to get or keep a job you better be a white female.
Pros
none
Cons
Poor Management
Great job if you can handle sitting and redundancy.
Patient Access Specialist II (Current Employee) – Baltimore, MD – November 13, 2018
Johns Hopkins alone is an incredible employer. From day one of my training I was impressed by how much of a "well oiled machine" every department was. Everyone seems to work cohesively, and - despite it being so big in its number and its name - there was not a single person who ever came off as intimidating, in any position. I worked in call center and the general morale of the people there was great considering we all kind of agreed that the job itself was mundane and repetitive. They are constantly buying us lunches, throwing us parties, and asking for feedback to make our jobs more enjoyable. For such a boring job and atmosphere, my peers AND my managers all pounce on any opportunity to have fun, relax, or just spice things up a bit.
Having said allll of that, the thought of doing this for the rest of my life haunts me and gives me anxiety. If you are someone who doesn't mind always sitting in the same spot and answering the phone for hours on end then this is a dream job for you given the amount of benefits they offer. Depending on your manager, moving to different departments or moving up or getting a raise is possible and definitely encouraged, but I've had colleagues whose stories all played out differently depending on how their managers worked the process.
Personally, the repetitiveness and cubicle setting did not match the amount of energy I have on a day to day basis. That and the long drive through traffic is why I ended up looking for other positions. But I definitely recommend Johns Hopkins!!

It is very fast paced, training could be a little better for new hires but great place to work. it is a great starting point in your career. you have to be a good multitasker to be able to keep up.

Medical office Assistant/Pre-Op Coordinator (Current Employee) – Baltimore, MD – April 4, 2018
Johns Hopkins has amazing benefits, however there is not much opportunity for advancement and its extremely difficult to move through the university due to years of experience
Pros
health insurance
Cons
management
Productive place
Triage RN (Former Employee) – Baltimore, MD – August 22, 2018
Johns Hopkins followed certain protocols. Did not stray from those unless offficially reviewed and changed. Monthly meetings with office manager to review updates, discuss ways in which to improve patient care, problem solve.
Pros
Strong constitution
Cons
Certain benefits poor
Started great
Medical Assistant (Former Employee) – Dundalk, MD – April 24, 2018
Management was horrible. There was a lot of favoritism and everyone was not treated equally. Very stressful environment and no teamwork from others. Working with 2-3 doctors alone while others would be sitting doing nothing.
Pros
Benefits
Cons
Management
Jhcp
Registered Medical Assistant (Former Employee) – Odenton, MD – July 3, 2018
I truly loved working for JHCP. The individuals I worked with were like my family. Our management if they were not in the office, they would hang sign on their door letting you know and to contact them via cell for emergent reasons. Always willing to help you advance and update skill sets.
OK pay but decent hours and benefits
Medical Office Assistant (Former Employee) – Silver Spring, MD – August 1, 2018
The pay is based off your demographic area, so its ok but not realistically livable if you're living on your own and have other bills to pay. However that all said, I feel the environment could be very stressful at times and there was more care about the patients than the employees which i feel is equally if not more important. A happy employee will definitely take care of their patients.
Good place to work

Medical Assistant
CERTIFIED MEDICAL ASSISTANT (Current Employee) – Columbia, MD – September 2, 2018
typical day at work is busy. Great place to work. Work in OB/GYN. Room to learn and grow. Hands on doctors. Office willing to create the most desirable environment to work in.
Fun and Busy Workplace
Medical Records Representative (Former Employee) – Baltimore, MD – November 27, 2017
The workday with Johns Hopkins Community Physicians is a fun and busy workday. With the patient's we serve and staff, it help makes the day go by more enjoyable. It's a great team to work with. We have department activities to help with engagement. Working for Johns Hopkins Community Physicians I have learned and valued community. Here we serve the community being available to provide healthcare. As an employee, for me it has been rewarding to see the people's lives you touch and how appreciative they are to have me as a part of the team. The patient's truly show you their appreciation and it makes it all worth it. Sometimes the hardest part of the job is the lack of communication amongst staff or management and a lack of team effort from the staff to complete a task to help a patient. Overall, I would say EBMC is a cool place to work for. It takes a special heart and toughness!
Pros
Pot Lucks, Pto
Cons
Short lunch breaks
Work Culture
Medical Office Assistant (Current Employee) – Fulton, MD – April 14, 2014
I have been very blessed as the culture at JHCP is one o openness and trust. This is a place where everyone enjoys coming to work everyday. We trust each other and find comfort in confiding in each other for work or personal life. Our practice administrator allows us to use or talents and maximize on the positive aspects. He is very encouraging and always willing to lend an ear and help with any conflicts that occasionally may arise. I enjoy working with the public and serving in my community. The hardest part for me is when I cannot help a patient or am not able to give the patient what they need at the time of the visit. I want for each person that I come in contact with to remember me, by the level of service I was able to provide.
Pros
Practice Administrator, willing to role up his sleeves and work when we are short staffed.
Cons
Lack of advancement at this time.
Not a workplace for an individual to pursue advancement; Nor does it have a policy benefitting for sick & vacation days
Office Assistant (Former Employee) – White Plains – April 3, 2015
There is NO advancement where I came from. However that depends on who you are & who you know. Enough said! At the time of hire, advancement was promised to me all but the ladder to be taken away later down the road by the powers-that-be of Hopkins.
The other beef I have is JHCP benefits are horrible! There are NO sick days nor vacation days fitted anywhere into their policies!!! One has what is called PTO(Personal Time Off). One must use their PTO even when they can't get into the office due to bad weather, say for example: LOTS OF SNOW!!
I would have to say the most enjoyable part of my job would have been the INCREDIBLE co-workers I got to work with on a daily basis.

Great Organization
Medical Office Assistant (Current Employee) – Bethesda, MD – January 21, 2018
Johns Hopkins is a really great organization and I truly enjoy working here. I work at one of the busiest specialty practices and there truly isn't enough time in a day to get everything done.
Pros
Great benefits, good reputation

Very busy, not a lot of room for growth
Love it here
Patient Access Specialist (Current Employee) – Baltimore, MD – May 9, 2017
The management is fantastic and supportive. The office environment is fun and inviting and the people are welcoming and friendly. There are many facets to this position and it is encouraged to ask questions. The interaction with the patients was always enjoyable. The only downside was sitting behind a computer for 8 hours a day but luckily breaks were given and encouraged. It is a thoroughly enjoyable place to work.
Pros
Benefits, management, engagement
Cons
Sedentary position, stressful
