Business Outlook

Pros

Pet benefits Great coworkers Open to ideas and suggestions from associates

Cons

Salary- those working in the hospitals are not paid enough for the work that they do. Field leadership is overstaffed and they don't work enough. Trim that fat and you could pay hospital employees more.
