Pros

Travel is generally low (except for non-healthcare work), work is flexible (accommodate appointments, WFH, etc.), pay is decent, raises around ~6%/year, regular promotion, culture is generally pretty good (fairly collegial, definitely not cut throat)

Cons

Very easy to get pigeonholed into one type or work and/or one client, long hours (though likely on par with other firms), no pay transparency, high turnover, leadership quality of the principals is highly variable (some are terrible to work with, uninterested in your personal commitments, not interested in personal growth, etc. - others are fantastic), opportunities outside of healthcare are much more limited and can be difficult to break into

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
