Pros
Flexible schedule as an independent contractor
Cons
I work for a few different locums agencies as a physician contractor, and LocumTenens.com is the only one that has performed far, far below my expectations. The only thing my consultant seems to care about is getting one to agree to an assignment. She is the most unsupportive, inconsiderate and insensitive consultant I have ever dealt with. My contact in their licensing department is no better. They ignore emails and phone calls; you have to insist on getting certain import information in writing; they procrastinate or submit incomplete information to the licensing boards on applicants behalf and then ignore your messages to try to work with them to rectify those things in a timely manner. Needless to say, I am very disappointed and frustrated with LT.com. I tell all my friends looking to do locums work to steer clear of this agency. After the current assignment I am contracted for with them, I will NEVER work for them again (not because of any issues with their clients, but because of people like my consultant who works for this agency).
