Pros
1. You get out what you put in. Internal promotions are common in corporate. People stay for their entire careers because there’s a lot of opportunity. 2. You can easily move between teams. I know people who have started out in customer service and moved to sales, others who started in a clinic and moved to operations, and others who moved from their original team to start their own for a new product or service. 3. On some teams, it’s a very startup-like environment. What might be a 100-person organization in a company of similar size is 10 or fewer here. It means there’s a lot to do, but also a lot of opportunity to impact things and get great experience, especially for people just entering the workforce. It’s an excellent place to grow. 4. It’s a small company at heart. Don’t be fooled by the number of employees. The corporate office is small, and everyone knows everyone else. Photos of employees and their families line the walls, and people really do make an effort to be kind and welcoming, especially to new hires. 5. In corporate, most teams offer flexible schedules and remote work days. Strong family focus. Free perks: onsite gym. Not free, but still perks: onsite dry cleaning, daycare, cafeteria.
Cons
Healthcare is hard at the corporate level. There’s a huge amount of information to learn, and while you’ll come out with a lot of transferable knowledge, the learning curve can be steep. This isn’t exclusive to Concentra, but just be aware if you’re coming from another industry. Everyone will help you get up to speed, but it does take longer than in less complex industries.
