Pros
I’m a couple weeks from completing my first travel contract with Host and Alison, and it has been a thoroughly positive experience. Alison is very prompt, professional, and so much fun to work with. In the only situation in which my facility disputed something about my claimed pay, Alison knew immediately whom to loop in to the conversation and the dispute was resolved in my favor within a few hours. Throughout this process, Alison has been reliable and supportive.
Cons
Initially I had hoped that perhaps Host would be more directly involved in my licensing and onboarding requirements. However, as I have spoken with several travelers here who have far more experience than I, they have led me to believe that actually my process was as smooth or smoother than most. In the end, I have been unwaveringly happy that my first travel assignment has been in Alison’s attentive care through Host.
