“I love working for this company because of the positive working environment. Having coworkers committed to the care of others and sharing that same goal. I believe my work impacts others daily and can be most rewarding in my 8-hour day. If I can make a client or coworker happy by being a listening ear, solving a problem, or filing their tummies with home cooking, that knowledge and their smile are all the glory I need. Being in the people business and making them feel like a family is what life is all about!

I’m very grateful for my job with a company that is like-minded in every way. I want people to walk in our office and feel welcome, if a smell of something freshly baked or a cheerful hello puts them at ease, they will know this is the environment our company is most noted for.”
