Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits start day 1, good pay. Nice 401k match, benefits are pretty good. Some good people to work with and train with.

Cons

Extremely hot work environment, a lot of back stabbing and 2 facing. Tell you one thing and do another. Site nurse is very critical and if you get hurt there or at home it's hard to get released to go back to work. Costed me my family doctor.
