Pros

The commute to the hospital is great, right off the highway and you have you parking.

Cons

The starting base pay is lower than the average market value set in this industry. Negotiating with HR in the hiring process is tough and they generally will not budge. My suggestion, don't settle for less. Don't decline the offer outright if it's low, but don't accept it right away; try to always negotiate and do research of the market value for the position in your region.

Pros

you can set your own schedule, you can work hybrid/remote if you're meeting metrics

Cons

god awful to work for, they will over work you then blame you when you dont take your lunch breaks or when you go into overtime. you have to be READY to sustain the demand of this job fr. inconsistent pay raises (if any). management is incredibly difficult and moody and cliquey. when they like you they'll be helpful, when they don't, your clients will suffer because of it and you will take the blame from both sides
