Indeed Featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
ShiftMed is a decent place to work. My director of the team and my manager are really helpful and patient. However, they do not have enough opportunities to grow. They do promotion based on years of experience instead of their actual skills

Thank you for your honest feedback. As we continue to grow, we value knowing how we can improve. Please never hesitate to speak with HR directly about your concerns. We appreciate your review.

Agency nursing

Travel facility to facility taking care of patients in short staffed settings. Experience varies per facility. Pay is alright but certainly not the best

Few Opportunities

If you are willing to drive very long distances you may request a shift infrequently. Very few options.The pay is not accurate. You may request 50 to 70 % “instant pay” after your shift. Two weeks later you will receive the remainder “25 %”. The problem is the base pay quoted is at the very least $ 10.00 to $ 15.00 less than quoted due to tax deductions. Which seem much higher than other companies.If you do not choose the “instant pay” you will be paid the following week on Friday. There is no “weekly pay”. Not worth the effort.

Don't waste your time.

Shiftmed doesn't have any shifts available and if they do, they're not at any good facilities. Shiftmed lies, they don't answer the phone or call you back,They're not professional, they're lazy, and unfair..... Do not work for them.

Pros

Nothing

Shift med does try to retain its employees

I work for them since June 2020. It is so difficult scheduling shifts. Now I can’t pick up any shift. I get a message to call their 1-800 number. I called in December a spoke to someone from the office and apparently by December 13th they were supposed do a background check on me again after two year. It almost a month a still I can’t pick up shifts. They are slow to respond when you call them. If you text them its useless .

Pros

Weekly pay

Cons

Trying to talk to management

You are not allowed to have an opinion

Poor management and if you have any opinion you will be fired. They hired new upper management to create a corporate nightmare, while phasing out anyone with an opinion or anyone who would question the ethical or moral grounds of management.

I have the flexibility I need

I don’t recommend SHIFTMED as a good company to work for due too the lack of assistance from management. The payroll system is like a bait and switch pyramid scheme

Pros

Flexible

Cons

Pay, Communication, and deductions

Not so great like they make it seem.

They cancel your shifts without letting you know .. u justopen the app and the shifts you sign in for are gone. Also, noinstant pay at all.. u only get half of your pay and then gotta wait a week for the rest. It's only nursing homes which are hard work .... Not enough shifts in the Orlando Florida area....

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Pay and the facilities

We are sorry to hear that your experience was less than expected. We do offer instant pay and hope you will give it a try. We would be happy to answer any questions you have regarding this perk at 1.800.485.9002.

The pay is okay. You are paid half daily and the rest comes later. The benefit of working with them is you get to set your own work schedule and avoid problems

Thank you for the feedback, we are glad that you enjoy making your own schedule!

Broken Promise

The app is pretty good. Easy to navigate. There are hardly any shifts in my area. They advertise next day pay, but that is only for a portion of your earnings. You will wait 2 weeks for your money just like any other job. This does pay better than a regular job, but your taxes will eat all of it.

Pros

Make your own schedule

Cons

Not enough work to make a schedule.

Thank you for sharing you experience with us. We are actively contracting with more facilities to provide a wider variety of shifts available. Some of our facilities offer Guaranteed Shifts, in which case you would be paid whether the facility cancels or not. We recommend these. Thank you for your feedback as we continue to improve and create new options for our valued health care providers.

Growth,

It a good place to work with a chance to grow. Pay is ok but high call volume. Ever charging rules so you have to pay attention to them. Your hardwork is recognized.

Going into my third year as a Shiftmed Employee

This is a legit app based company. I’ve never had a problem with pay or employee verification. Pays weekly and early with certain banks. The next day pay feature could use an update but it works as long as you cash out before 5pm.Facilities are a hit or miss and it is up to you to determine your level of safety. Cancellations have been high since the ending of the pandemic but if you build a relationship with the staffer, they are more likely to let you stay (it is healthcare and someone is always short staffed which is why they hired you) so be nice. Wear your badge, nice scrubs, pack a lunch, and smile. Credentialing was quick and a very easy process. May have to call and be patient but someone in Customer service is always helpful. I haven’t used the in app Uber option to go to work yet but I plan to once the snow starts to hit the ground.Thank you Shiftmed for keeping the bills paid while I go to nursing school.

Pros

Make your own schedule

Cons

Facilities can cancel

ShiftMed does not pay it’s guaranteed shifts!!!

Not enough facilities

Not enough shifts to pick up in many areas so may not be able to create a schedule. Thought there would be many facilities to choose from but there was a always only 1 facility available on the app and the location is far away

Lot of flexibility, fun and interesting.

My first impression was very applicable to my current situation. it seems pretty decent and pays good. Would be my first working thanksgiving since I'm currently available. Great opportunity and there's a lot of job you can select nearby where you live.

Great money making opportunities

What I love about the ShiftMed is that you have control and much flexibility of your schedule and where you want to work. If you don’t like a facility you can work somewhere else. Next day pay is a bonus. You see and learn alot traveling to different facilities and most facilities are close to you.
