Where to begin!? This job is draining, making 80-100 calls a day, knowing you’re not going to actually get ahold of anyone outside of 1 or 2 that pickup the phone and either demand astronomical rates or hang up as soon as you say who you are with. Teams that are over saturated with reps for a very limited number of physicians in a specialty. Cutthroat environment, all team reps are fighting for the same doctors. Doesn’t matter if that doctor is actually in your name. Lack of support from leadership, if you are struggling to build your book, leadership says they will help you but never actually follow through. I’m my particular case I was struggling, and told we will get you help, nothing ever materialized except for my leader creating an email trail for HR. My leader would send me an email each week going over what they did to help me, without ever having done anything they stated in the email. Very much a CYA move and deflection rather than an actual willingness to help. You are completely reliant on the client reps to push your doctors to locations. I had doctors that were interested in an assignment and the CR would leave them sitting with no information for weeks, by the time the CR would move them, the doctor was no longer interested or would have taken a position with someone else. The “rah rah we’re so great” culture was funny at first and over time showed itself to be fake and cringy. The job was not fulfilling, was not fun, and overall leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
