“THE ONLY COMPANY THAT HAS REALLY TREATED ME LIKE FAMILY, IS THIS COMPANY.”

“They’ve been super good to me the entire time I’ve been here. They try to run you according to how you like to run, and I’m known as one of those ‘runners’ – I like to take my breaks and then go! I don’t get by the yard much, but I did go and participate in the ALS walk.”

“At this company, if I have any questions they are always open to talking to me. They act like it’s not just your problem, it’s ‘our’ problem. So you feel like someone is backing you up while you’re working, that we’re all on the same team. I also like what they do to help raise money for ALS. I’ve done the ALS Walk once since I’ve been here. That means a lot to me.”
