More about Easter Seals
Nursing appears as a department at some affiliates. The one local rate on file is $23 an hour. Franklin sits about 4% below the national cost of living, and Tennessee does not take state income tax. If you drive toward Nashville, plan on about 21 miles and 25 to 40 minutes. Affiliate materials mention flexible or varying hours and schedules that fit a busy life; those notes come from other cities, not from a Franklin source. What people say is mixed, and it is not from this town. South Florida staff talk about being appreciated and having a reason to come in; they also sit around 3.7 out of 5. New Hampshire is closer to 3.1, with under half recommending the employer. Across affiliates, pay comes up as too low, and some reviews describe rough management and the drain of covering more than one job.
South Florida staff describe personal appreciation, chances to learn, and a clear sense of purpose.
