"I started working at First Data in January 2013. The hiring process took multiple interviews and was great because it proved that they wanted to hire the right people for the right positions. The team that I work with is extremely knowledgeable and works very well cohesively. Every person that works there has a sense of pride and understanding for every department and for every level of worker there."
