Business Outlook

Pros

The Vice President Sales was great to work for. He lets you run your own business.

Cons

HCA did not have embrace having diversity in senior management. It was a true good 'ole boy network. Also, the training program for new sales was extremely minimal. The chain of command was very unclear. This position is suppose to report the Vice President of Sales but unfortunately it doesn't work that way. You pseudo report to the Vice President of Operations and the Surgery Center Administrators (2-4), depending on the size of your market. Extremely unorganized! The base salary should also be increased $10,000-$20000.

Business Outlook

Pros

I was working with a facility that provided quality healthcare and leading edge technology. I was able to work with some incredible physicians and able to help them learn the market and grow their practice.

Cons

No real downsides just took awhile at our local hospital to get equipment and new technology. There was a long process and tight budget due to current economic environment.
