Pros

Patient & community centered, flexibility with schedule, great learning environment with ongoing education encouraged. Welcomed as part of the team from day ONE! Great hikes and parks accessible throughout the state.

Cons

Cost of living reasonable but more than you would expect from grocery stores, etc as there is a monopoly- Kroger, Aldis, Starbucks. Didn’t expect that from this being the Capitol of the state.
