HINT: If considering another job, ask that potential employer and SOR these questions:

1. How many paid holidays do I get? (SOR = 8 to 11 per year depending on day of the week where the holidays fall that year)

2. How much paid time off (PTO) do I get on top of holidays? (SOR = 2 weeks, plus 2 more days if you volunteer in the community, plus an extra day on your work anniversary)

3. Do you have a 401K? (SOR = Yes! And we match up to 4% and you're immediately vested)

4. Do you provide paid training and future opportunities? Will you invest in me? (SOR = YES, yes, yes! It's #1 of our 4 core values! Come ask folks who have stayed here 3, 5, 7, or even 10 years why they can't be lured away.)

5. Do you adhere to safety protocols and have employee-centric protocols? (SOR = Yes, we've heard what "the other guys" ask of employees and that is not our way!)
