I completed my externship through Stepful at Richmond Foot & Ankle Clinic, but my experience was not handled professionally. My externship hours and work were not acknowledged, even though I provided proper documentation with staff signatures. I also experienced wage discrepancies and missing hours during my employment at the affiliated clinic. The clinic wdita your hours on the time clock. And the clock shows edited by The owner. In order to evade paying her employees their entire check. For WORKED WAGES! When I presented documentation showing the correct hours, staff AND STEPFUL dismissed it and claimed it was untrue, despite their own signatures being on the forms. My goal was to complete my training and contribute to the clinic, but the lack of honesty, accountability, and respect made the experience extremely disappointing. I hope future students and employees receive better treatment and transparency.
During my time there, I also experienced wage discrepancies. Hours I worked were removed from my paycheck, and when I presented accurate records, staff claimed the documentation was “a lie,” even though their signatures were clearly on the forms.
This created an unsafe and unprofessional learning environment. Students and employees deserve transparency, respect, and accurate record‑keeping. My experience did not reflect that, and I hope Stepful reevaluates this site as an externship placement.I also dealt with SEXUAL HARRASMENT BY THE DOCTORS BOYFRIEND. THAT WAS DISMISSED AS WELL.
This experience showed a serious lack of integrity and accountability. I would not recommend this site for externships or employment until major changes are made. AND AT THIS TIME I NO LONGER RECOMMEND STEPFUL AS A COMPANY TO BE TRUSTED.
