Pros

Excellent Training. Great People. Fixed location or Mobile options. I really loved the 3 twelve hour set shifts at the fixed locations.

Cons

In a donor facing role there is extremely limited flexibility in hours. I did not see many opportunities for growth other than Trima/Alex training or becoming a lead (limited availability)
