Pros
Management is willing to work with RTO pretty easily. GE machines are easy to use and proximity of ER with CT is set up nicely.
Cons
Communication with management is sometimes awful. Especially with contract extensions. HR also did not pay me for a day due to a missed punch. Instead of contacting me about issues, they just didnt pay me and it took two months to resolve that missing pay.

Pros
Sebrona has been an incredible recruiter to work with during my job search for travel vascular sonography positions. From our very first conversation, she took the time to actually understand what I was looking for, not just throwing generic openings at me, but paying attention to my specialty, my preferences, and my timeline. She's responsive, communicative, and genuinely invested in finding the right fit rather than just filling a slot. Any time I had a question, she got back to me quickly with clear, honest answers. No runaround, no overselling a position just to close it out. Working with Sebrona has made the often stressful process of job hunting feel a lot more manageable. I'd recommend her to any traveler looking for a recruiter who actually listens and follows through.
