What employees are saying

I love a lot about my job. I love my co-workers, the management, the work, and the flexibility. Covid-19 has made a job that I already loved even more enjoyable. Management was truly concerned about our health, and provided the flexibility to work from home, which created a better work/life balance, and many meaningful opportunities to be more present in our loved ones lives. Not to mention, the personal expenses that were saved from not having to commute on a daily basis. I can't imagine a better company to have worked for before or after the pandemic. I hope that the WFH flexibility will be allowed to continue even after everything gets back to normal.

I feel like I am helping FH owners make good decisions that assists family’s

We move so fast that I have worked on so many different projects in the short time that I've been with the company. That we have 35 hour work weeks. That I know if I get stuck on something there's always someone who can help.
