I can be expected not to show up again. I would NOT recommend anyone to work for this company. Everything was unorganized since day one, starting with the scheduling of orientation. A vast amount of the staff has terrible attitudes and very poor communication skills. Frustration within the job should never be reflected upon the employees. A clear understanding can never be acquired with over talking and poor attitudes. Thanks for attempting the opportunity, though. Happy holidays.

Beyond grateful. I will never be able to express how wonderful this team took care of my son. They were there every step of the way. Their love and support is exceptional. Our family wasn’t just a ‘case’ or a ‘number’ to them. We actually mattered, and it showed.
