There's No Place Like Home
Pros
Two years ago, I worked for ATS part-time during a period of its initial growth. A new local opportunity arose for me that I decided to accept, and I ended up in that role for less than a year. It was a wonderful learning experience with healthy challenges and I was surrounded by good people. But it wasn't ... home. Achieving True Self is home to me. I could not be happier returning to a role with a team of empathetic, compassionate, energized, highly motivated and fiercely committed leaders. I missed our field team and perhaps more importantly, I missed our families. Engaging with families like mine and communities to offer help and inspire hope is in my blood. I am in a role where I have a healthy work-life balance allowing me to shoot for both professional and personal goals. I am surrounded by people every day whose culture pushes me to develop and evolve while at the same tine being a part of life-changing support and treatment. My success is my choice at ATS, and my team encourages me to settle for nothing less than excellence. I recognized and embraced my truest self by making the best professional decision of my career, and walking back through the door that was graciously left open for me.
Cons
The only con for me is the time I was away. Though I choose to live without regret and my other opportunity was a meaningful chapter, it wasn't ATS. Truly - nowhere else is ATS. It's one of a kind.
