"Great place to work. Loved working there. Many opportunities so long as you know your stuff and put in the work and time. They are always looking for ways to improve and give back to the community. Good compilation for what you are asked to do and the benefits are second to none. They even offer medical benefits to part time employees. Everyone there is like family and treated each other with respect. If you ever have a concern or suggestion the management's doors are always open."
