Pros
MHA does offer great advancement and few limits on compensation. Many times, employees can make over $100,000 within three years. This does come at a cost though. (See Cons) The MHA training program is comprehensive, but micromanaged to a fault.
Cons
Be prepared to be micromanaged, to have other employees try to steal doctors (and subsequent commission), and to work 50 hours a week to meet minimum expectations. When new, you will be given hand me down accounts that are essentially the problem accounts that senior consultants can't place. Senior management, regional and divisional vice presidents make low six figures to micromanage and do not usually bring in income to the company. This leads to the lowest salary in the industry for new hires. Meeting phone time and dial requirements in antiquated in an age of internet and email. The Merritt Hawkins reputation in the industry is very low, which is a direct reflection of the employees and caliber of people that can make this a career.
