Pros

I like floating to different departments so working una variety of settings was a big plus

Cons

The parking, I feel they should provide an ability for travelers to pay for parking per month even if at a slightly higher cost compared to staff

Pros

Kyle was the first recruiter to really dive into the details of travel work with me. He was thorough and answered all of my questions plus offered a lot of great advice. I started my first travel contract with him and couldn’t be happier with where I ended up and all the help and communication I’ve received before and during my contract. Thank you!
