I absolutely love my experience in the A-Store so far. The culture here is great. My coworkers are hardworking and fun, which makes the work day extremely enjoyable. I love the fact that I am treated as somebody who is of equal value and nobody is put on a higher outlook. I also absolutely love that nobody takes sole credit for team work or anybody else's ideas.
