EMPLOYEES SAY:

     • “My manager’s support allows me to develop the skills I need to perform my work functions and encourages me to grow within the organization. The office environment is
friendly, well set up and makes me feel optimistic about the days that I work there.”
     • “A flat organization allows people to see the entire scope of the business vs. a small silo of
the business.”
