Working with people with disabilities has been wonderful! We have several workers right now who have disabilities and I love working with them! They are they are such great workers They show up and they work hard. We've been doing this for years with some of our employees being here up to four years. I really appreciate getting to work with Joy Montz (job coach), she is a delight to work with and such an asset to the workers. She's always here checking in on them, helping them, training them. She's just a godsend. Overall it's been a great experience and I definitely want to continue!
