• Fair Pay that grows with you: starting salary $60,000–$75,000 (depending on location, education, and experience), per diem for meals, mileage reimbursement, utilization bonuses, weekend bonuses, and more.
• Room to Grow: paid training, annual merit raises, and a 5% salary increase after six months.
