Business Outlook

Pros

Reasonable caseload Autonomy Day hours Weekends off Average salary Good health insurance

Cons

Low census means you’ll be off without pay - weather closure -off without pay All sick leave, vacation out of same bank of leave No time off for holiday with pay- must use your own leave - even for major holidays like Christmas! Almost no flexibility if you work full time with hours 8-5 no matter what Hard to take off if you are sick, no one to cover your job responsibilities
