I really like my job. My bosses and coworkers are all great. I love the environment and the benefits – the company is very good to their workers.

Years ago, I won a television at the one of the company events. It was such an exciting thing! It is also so nice for the company to do things like that for the employees. It really motivates us all to work hard each day and keep coming back day to day.
