What do you like best about the leadership team?
They get things done right and fast
I feel as though im being lead and guided not just told what to do
Kind, hard-working, talented, strategic. They care about their team and are passionate about the company.
I like that they're at least occasionally understanding and do their jobs well for the most part
They make me laugh when I'm having a bad day and always have my back.
