Submitted by: Amber Black, Director of Human Resources/Workforce Management Goodness, where do I begin? Well for starters, I could explain the utter shock of my diagnosis at age 32 considering there was NO prior history of breast cancer in my family.

Or authors such as, Agatha Christie whose work was rejected for five …
Submitted by: Laura Fain, General Manager Although I have been working since I was 14 years old, until now I have never worked for a company that cares so much about their employees and helps them become better people in their careers as well as their personal life. My drive and passion for everything I do is beyond this world! I go to great lengths to make sure everyone is taken care of and happy because I know what it’s like to feel like you don’t have a niche in this world. Being a survivor of domestic violence, I always …

I have been fortunate to have supervisors that have given me the …
