What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

Managers are respectful of employees as human beings. I do not have strong opinions or much knowledge of the executive committee, but they do seem to make humane decisions with regard to profit sharing and things like paid family and medical leave, etc.

You hear from them often, they try to make it interactive and are usually very approachable.

They treat everyone equally .

Transparent and genuine concern for its people.

They take an interest in each employee.
