"I like the three full days - it's the schedule I wanted, and nothing's changed since going full-time. The compensation structure finally makes sense now that they've explained it properly. Being able to pick up shifts at different locations for extra bonuses is a game-changer." - Savannah, RDH, at our East Greenbush location
