Pros
The healthcare industry is a great one to work in but it is not recession proof. Of all my sales jobs this one taught me how to be an effective consultant to physicians and hospital CEO's on what the current market of recruiting is like for physicians.
Cons
The hardest job I have ever had. Simply a numbers game. No more. No less. If you hit your lofty goals, you have nothing to worry about, if you fall short of you numbers, watch out, you will be gone. 100% micro management. There have been people to lose their jobs in less than 90 days. Do your homework before you accept a job. There is good money to be made with MHA but there are many other jobs out there where you could make just as much without all the micro management. A LOT of Turnover with employees! Nearly 50% of the Atlanta office was turned over in 2008.
