If you are in the inner circle and are given the good jobs and accounts to work on, and put in no less than 50 hours a week, then their is an opportunity to make decent money (70 - 100k a year)
Svantaggi
First off, management wants to think they are running a Wolf of Wall Street/Boiler Room business setting. Which is an impossible image too live up to, but boy do they try. The president, I have never met a more two-faced person. I understand that putting on an act and leading an organization requires a certain degree of finesse, but I have never experience someone smiling in my face while planning to fire me within minutes after a conversation. If you want an idea oh how she is, Imagine Claire Underwood from House of Cards, now take away any real power, BAM! you now have the president of HealthCare Scouts. The other guy, Chuck, The COO, or whatever title they wanted to give him, is a nice enough guy, but for the life of me I can not figure out why he still has a job here. The decisions he makes walk a fine line between arbitrary and non-essential, yet he remains second in command. He will tell you the same 2 sales stories of him in his "glory days of recruiting, where running a full desk was the epitome of ALWAYS BE CLOSING/ATTENTION INTEREST DECISION ACTION" I guarantee within the third one-on-one conversation you have with him, he will tell you about the time he placed a bilingual case manager in Fargo, ND. by calling a doctor with the last name "Lopez" and asking him for a referral. Now, the main con, is that even if you are a top producer year after year after year, if you start to slip, and your margin starts to drop... They will drag you into the pit and publicly execute you're professional life within the organization (they fire you). There's no performance improvement plan, no warnings to step your game up. You start to slip, you are gone. ZERO job security. I guess the reason everything is the way that it is, is because of the CEO, Don. The thing about Don, is that he already owns a recruiting company, HealthCare Support, and the interesting this is, HealthCare Support is SOOOOOO much more successful than HealthCare Scouts. Scouts is the ugly step-sister to Scouts. Which means Don treats it as a business experiment. "hey, lets see if making them work from 7am - 7pm makes me more money" "I wonder if firing a quarter of the staff level employees makes them work harder." THESE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPEN AT THIS ORGANIZATION! This is not a job you would take if you are looking to start a career. This is a job you take if you have massive amounts of debt to pay of, and only want to work 24/7.
