Not exactly, but you could put your Channel Entries tag into an embedded template, and use a member group ID conditional to send it the parameters you want based on the visitors membership status.

Advanced Conditions: {if:else} tag not getting read
As someone else has said this is an inelegant approach and there are better ways to do it.
But for starters try putting the complete tag pair within each condition and see if that works. i.e.

Checking the channel in the channel entries tag
try using
channel_short_name == "work"
