Sales jobs at CHG Healthcare reward you in many ways. Anyone who makes their living in sales will probably tell you it’s a demanding career. And a company’s culture makes all the difference in the world when it comes to growing their careers. Culture is just one of the many reasons sales consultants love their job at CHG.
Embracing the challenge
Mitch Lyle is a sales consultant with Weatherby Healthcare, a division of CHG Healthcare. His job is finding physicians to work in temporary assignments, or locum tenens, across the United States. He’s been with Weatherby for more than seven years and in sales for over a decade. But even during the pandemic — when hospitals and clinics cancelled their requests for doctors and his sales plummeted — he never questioned his resolve to stay with Weatherby. His reasoning: “This is the best company I’ve ever worked for.”
Now that business has bounced back and is stronger than ever, he's happy he stuck with it. "Any sales role where there’s great opportunity, there’s also going to be stress," Mitch says. It helps that he truly enjoys his job. “It’s just fun!”
James Watkins is another Weatherby Healthcare sales consultant who put in the effort and is enjoying the rewards of his work. He says his job is like running his own business: he has the freedom and flexibility to run his desk the way he thinks best, but — even better — he has the support of a large company behind him.
"They lay it out on a silver platter for you. You just have to go get it," James says.
Kaitlyn Owen was a new college graduate when she first joined Weatherby Healthcare as a sales consultant. But she didn't let her lack of experience hold her back. She put in the work to build her book of business and has seen more success than she anticipated.
“The job is more than I could have ever imagined," Kaitlyn says. "I never would have thought I would be able to be successful in a job this quickly.”

Let’s face it: When you’re in sales, you want to have your efforts pay off. And for these CHG salespeople, it has — and in a big way.
“This is an opportunity where there’s going to be some hard work,” Alvin Powell, sales consultant at Weatherby. “I don’t want to sugarcoat it. But I never anticipated making this much money in my entire career. It’s really possible with CHG.”
Megan McLamb, a sales consultant at Weatherby, says you get to determine your level of success. “What makes you successful is how hungry you are. How hungry you are to make the money, to work hard. You get a couple doctors placed in a couple jobs, then you start seeing that money come through, and it’s even more motivating.”
Senior provider rep Simon Parsons, who works at CompHealth, another division of CHG, says if you’re driven, you’ll see the payoff. “I don’t see any reason you couldn’t be a six-figure earner in your first year.”
Earning enough money to provide for her son and having a long sought-after lifestyle are what motivate Tess Smith, placing manager at CompHealth. “We’re able to camp, climb, travel, and do the things that feed your soul outside of the grind.”
Tim Hyde worked in phone sales before joining Weatherby Healthcare as a sales consultant. Now, he's been with the company for over 10 years and has found the financial security he always dreamed of.
“My job has allowed me to have the financial freedom to travel, save for the future, and take time off when needed," Tim says.

Balancing work and life
Wes Elam, a provider representative at Global Medical Staffing, has discovered his ideal work/life balance during his two-year tenure with the company. Reflecting on his experience, Wes shares, “Working for CHG for the last two years has been a really great experience. I have never worked for a company that places such a high value on work/life balance and respects the time of its people.”
One of the key factors contributing to Wes’s experience is the company’s flexibility in allowing employees to take small breaks throughout the workday. This approach has been transformative for Wes, enabling him to manage personal matters without compromising his professional responsibilities. “Being able to take small breaks during the workday to attend to personal matters has been a game changer, allowing me to recharge and refocus between challenging calls and situations,” he explains.
Wes’s gratitude for this supportive environment is evident as he acknowledges the impact it has on his performance. “I’m super grateful for this environment because it helps me perform at my best each day,” he says. By fostering a culture that prioritizes employee well-being, CHG Healthcare not only enhances job satisfaction but also empowers its team members to excel in their roles.
