  • Thanks to all for the feedback, there were some good suggestions here that I'll be sure to use. I've been working here for 4 yrs & have tried to change the attitude about alcohol, etc. I'm not giving up the battle, but I'm more like Custer. I ag…

  • Traci: All of our employees are provided with computers and access to the internet - therefore we use our intranet extensively for employee communication and access to policies, forms, etc. We have field offices across the country so this is a very …
