Pros

The people working here are amazing, and make it the only really good reason to return every day. Unfortunately, the people all share the same hate for the work.

Cons

Oh boy, where to begin... The other negative reviews here are SPOT ON. you are hounded for numbers. It's High-pressure sales, not recruiting at all! You are forcing doctors (usually the deadbeat ones [no offense to the good ones out there] to do temporary work known as "locum tenens". What they DON'T tell you in the interview is that this is basically work for doctors that cannot get any other line of work. They have been fired, have malpractice issues, arrest records, and the list goes on and on. Because of this, there is a VERY strict submission process when interviewing a candidate - this can often take days/weeks if the provider isn't responsive. --OK fine, it's recruiting; you're going to have to dig through a ton of bad to find good and make a match....BUT THAT'S WHERE BARTON LIES TO YOU! They neglect to tell you in the interview or post-hire training that you will LITERALLY be harassing doctors. They don't want these bad, low-paying jobs in most cases and you are required to call them once, or more a day. They promise an enticing compensation structure, but in order to take advantage of it, you need to be employed for 2-3 years (They will tell you the opposite, but trust me.) The Medical market for jobs is very limited and vastly different than 2 years ago, and those people reviewing positively were around and have these people working for them, and they are making enough money to be happy. Until you reach this point, your are literally digging through a sales pool of providers looking for ANYTHING that can pretend to be production so you don't get fired. The hours are a dreadful 7AM-5PM, mandatory. They don't care if your car broke down or your alarm didn't go off. You'll get yelled at for being 3 minutes late. Anything you do wrong, they don't pull you aside and address it - they pull EVERYONE aside and give a "training" on the subject. This job is tedious, with long hours, over-pressuring management, with little to no reward for your hard work. There is an immense turnaround, everyone quits unless they are management favorites because they are getting hounded about their mistakes.
