It feels like a family.
Some of us have the same values and work ethic. We are able to bounce ideas off of each other for the common good.
My particular department allows us to see the accomplishments of the kids which is most rewarding. I also enjoy seeing some of my coworkers.
They will listen to concerns that I have. They are accomodating with personal issues, and they try to make the best working environment possible for us.
It is not the company's fault; it's more the state. Our particular profession is underpaid compared to our counterparts in the area. We endure great amounts of stress and time spent working outside of our 8 hour day. I have been given generous raises that I am grateful for.
