      Pros

      Decent pay. Company is willing to pay for continuing education including fronting the cost for becoming an RN.

      Employee satisfaction is not a priority. Many employees are overworked and many clinics are understaffed and the company is very tight in regards to labor costs.

      Employee happiness can and will directly correlate with positive patient outcomes.
