Are all chiropractic offices like this?

I am very grateful to have a job but I just started working for a chiropractic office, and the assistants have to do so many jobs like clean the bathroom, clean the blinds, defrost the fridgerators in addition to caring for the patients doing EMS and ultrasound and preparing the patients for therapy doing laundry etc etc you you think this is a lot of work being they only pay 10.00 an hour? Is this normal?

Answer:
For Calif...$10 is a little low but some do it.$12 or $13 is more likely for front desk/reception. Check with a couple temp agencies in your area and tell them you are doing some research and ask what is the normal rate for what you are doing.
no..NOT at all. You should only do, front office and help with the patients. The rest should be done by outside staff. (cleaning staff) and you should be making more than $10.
More like $12-13
What else do you expect for working in a Quack's office??
It depends on the job description. Hopefully there was a detailed job description when you got the job. I can understand why you would not expect to do all of the chores that you listed, but if this was the expectation going in it is not unheard of.

I hate to say it, but the guy who gave the "quack" comment may not be too far off. Chiropractors are good at cracking your back, taking x-rays, always finding something wrong, but nothing so wrong that you would have to go to someone who has actually had medical training--instead many repeated visits to their office should do the trick until the next inevitable and often concurrent misallignment. When you keep in mind that this is their mode of doing business, it may not be surprising to find that your job description was the bait part of a bait and switch operation.

Good luck, and in any case it sounds like you are underpaid. Do you get any benefits?
