HMtoPA Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 San Marcos is a lovely area - but seriously, a typing test? Salary seems low, too (especially considering TX salaries are among the highest in the nation, statistically). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstamets Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 This company employs LVNs, RNs, and PAs. Since everyone has the same job title of Case Reviewer, the assessments listed do not vary that much. The difference between the positions is the pay scale, which is of course much higher for PAs than for LVNs or RNs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstamets Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Salary seems low, too (especially considering TX salaries are among the highest in the nation, statistically). I do agree that the salary is a bit low, though I am not in charge of that since we handle the staffing for the company only. However, their logic behind that pay rate is that the work schedule, which is Mon-Fri 8am to 5pm, compensates. As well, statistically, the cost of living in San Marcos is much lower than in most other cities in the country or state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
