Kontras
Honestly, I can't think of any. I left a very toxic workplace where I and my position wasn't respected by one of the owners, and I walked on eggshells everyday. I used to cry most days driving to to the toxic HR department I worked in before that. Coming to work for Deb at Pierson changed my life for the better. I was like a puppy who only knew abuse until I came here and saw what a warm, welcoming, nurturing environment could be like. Within a couple of months of starting here, I snagged back a former employee of mine to work here, and they are just as happy as I am with the opportunity to be here.
