Svantaggi
Each recruiting team is for a different specialty. If you wind up on a team whose physicians do mainly elective procedures, you're going to be dealing with a lot of divas. The training made no sense either. I was FINALLY being given rate negotiation classes and actual sales process classes only after being there for 7 months. And though they would like you to believe otherwise, locums work seems to be becoming much less popular with physicians. Most of my calls ended with me being hung up on after the doctor hears the word "locum tenens". It is a hard sell. Trying to talk a doctor who already works full time, into spending their time off working even more, is an uphill battle. Work life balance is nonexistent for at least the first year, as you are trying to build up your book and meet difficult metrics. (again, depending on your specialty. If you luck out and wind up on an "easy" team, you're golden).
