- “The staff at WEDGE rarely experiences turnover, and my team has been in place for over 10 years. That longevity has built up some great relationships that extend outside of work now, with a willingness to help each other on personal matters and bring back small souvenirs from vacations.”
- “WEDGE creates an inclusive, family atmosphere. Employees are well taken care of and are encouraged to take on new responsibilities.”
- “The small, cohesive team breeds a culture of collaboration and cooperation. The flexibility offered by the hybrid work structure enables us to be productive and attentive on our schedule.”
