Objective
I want to work for, and with a company that cares about its employees. A
company must make money, but it must also foster a culture of people that want
to do a good job, want to show up to work, and want to see the company
succeed. This transfers over to employees being more successful. There is a
better future for all involved, when employees share the same goals as the
company.
