CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The interviewer was nice even though she was sitting in a different part of teh country and did not know the specific NY Speech therapsy market.

Cons

I have interviewed with 7 agencies in NY and all say that they so not know the schools they have. BUT stepping stones says they do know for the fall 2025? Well, the other agencies said they will let me knwo their schools as soon as they find out but stepping stones said they have the schools so is correct?
