    WashingtonExec: Obtaining top talent in the private sector is fierce. How does your company not only draw top talent, but maintain it?

We focus on true, long term partnership with our corporate teammates. We are a Great Place to Work for our employees and their families.  A “Great Place To Work” is not about free perks and flexible hours, it is about a corporate culture focused on ethics, professional development, and honesty.
