There is no animosity between coworkers & it truly feels like everyone is working together toward a common goal of helping people. I have worked jobs in the past where I was scared to ask questions or even talk to my coworkers. I do not feel that even remotely working here. Everyone is constantly acknowledging each others' accomplishments & lifting each other up. It is truly a great place to work."
