Great place to work with a mission you can get behind

Pros

One of the few places that allows you to have meaningful impact across multiple fronts: - Creating opportunities for individuals who may not have been able to access those opportunities, leading to productive careers in healthcare. - Tackling a national shortage of healthcare workers that's impacting quality and access to care. This mission alignment can be felt in the DNA of the company.

Cons

Nothing that you don't experience in most companies.
