I love being able to have the flexibility to work from home, and make my own schedule. If I have no meetings, and the day is gorgeous, I can go take a walk if I want...or go shopping if I want. I have the freedom to work at my own pace and I can choose what to work on, on what day, as long as I am meeting my deadlines. At my former employer, I couldn't go to certain websites during the day on my breaks as they were "locked down". By working from home, this isn't an issue. On my breaks, I have no one monitoring my behavior. I can create a healthy lunch in my own home, hence saving me money every day by not being tempted to spend money on something I don't need nor really want. There is room for growth in this company, and I have endless possibilities with where my career path may now end up. If I want to continue in management I can, or if I want to venture into business development, I have that opportunity. As a nurse, that is very important to me.

The compensation is not what I was making at the hospital level - however, my duties are also not what they were at the hospital level. The insurance is somewhat lacking, but every year I have been with this company they have tried to tweak it to make it better. Sometimes it take multiple attempts to get a point across to upper management, but eventually, everyone comes to an understanding that is good for most parties. Upper management is willing to listen, you just have to be persistent to be heard.
