Pros

I have been with Host Healthcare for several months. I am not very tolerant of red tape. However Rachel at Host is my Recruiter and has done an incredible job of cutting through the red tape and doing a lot of hand holding through the initial process. She has made my experience so pleasant. I could've gotten more money elsewhere but i am staying right here. Rachel is available all of the time!!! I am very grateful.

Cons
