Pros
Overall I’m extremely happy I chose this company and a recruiter who goes to bat for me. She has been there every step of the way so that’s the best thing…also it’s been great having medical and dental from day 1. This company is very organized and its well established. In today’s job market it’s hard to know which company to choose—there are so many!
Cons
Not many cons I can think of except maybe payroll is a little too anal about getting your facility time sheet exactly perfect.
