CompHealth reviews about "training"

The work of recruiting can be a bit tedious--lots and lots of phone calls. But there is really no better way to find doctors to work locum tenens assignments. There are many departments involved in placing doctors in the various hospitals and clinics CH works with. I think that the staff in almost all departments is great at what they do, but sometimes communication and a sense of urgency can be an issue. When an assignment falls through or goes south, it can be very stressful managing the competing interests of providers and clients (hosp, clinics, etc). But usually you have thhe help and support of management to deal with any serious problems. Also, there are a lot of competing locum tenens agencies out there and it can be frustrating trying to compete with the ones that mislead and cut corners with their physicians. CompHealth is thorough and consistent in their vetting of potential recruits and clients, but I feel that sometimes they lose business because of how much paperwork and documentation they require up front.

If you like working at call centers and want to hate your job for a couple years until you build your pipeline of doctors, then this is the place. if you have a degree- you can find much better quality of work elsewhere where there is room to be creative. This company has a formula to tell you what to do and you can't do anything outside of that.. Its like you have to make 250+ calls week after week after week for 6+ months to try and find a couple doctors to work with. After you do all that, then you have to convince your team to believe in your doctor and actually place them. Also have to deal with doctors that think they are the president of the United States.

Long hours highstress job

As with every sales position, it takes a little while to get into the higher commission bracket, as it takes a little while to build your pipeline. However, if you work hard and stay focused, you will build it sooner than you think.

While a generous base, it is offset by a lower commission. But I can't say it is a Con that you have to work hard to achieve the higher commission. A high focus on daily production numbers where it may not tell the whole story.
