Business Outlook

Pros

Generous PTO, wonderful clients, and opportunities to attend conferences or otherwise continue education. Opportunities for growth are wonderful! They prioritize hiring from within, but do consider outside applicants who may be more qualified.

Cons

There are some people that clearly want to make big changes that are beneficial to the services provided. However, changes can be made difficult by those higher up the ladder who don't typically have feet on the ground on the clinical site. Lots of higher ups coming and going all the time.
