Dina · 5/5 on Google · a year agoDon't know how the care is there. Although, I can say that the location is difficult to find. I tried turning in a resume for a position there but it was impossible. I tried calling a few times but they never answered. 10 minutes later I received a TEXT MESSAGE from them saying sorry we missed your call. I thought that was unprofessional.
