So I just scored an on-call/casual position with Summit Ortho. and it got me thinking about benefits and such.
Now this is the start of my career and I've never really needed this because I've been in the military, just not had any coverage, or had a job that actually had coverage and i just left if because 1. I was covered and 2. didn't care because it was a job.
Because I am in teh military i get to have TRIcare, medical/dental thru the military and what I believe is a good rate.
