• Fear Free & AAHA mindset: Low-stress handling, modern workflows, and consistent protocols. 

• No non-compete: Focus on doing great work without restrictive covenants.

• Production: 20–22% with no negative accrual 

• Sign-on/relocation assistance available 

• OTE: $180,000 – $240,000+ depending on caseload, production, and bonuses
