I enjoy the great people I work with and the family environment that Summit provides. I think that caring about your employees and valuing them makes Summit such a great place to work.

I’ve always appreciated the supportive environment here at Summit. I studied history in college and had virtually no experience when I started here as a lab technician. To me, Summit has always felt like a place where questions are welcomed. I don’t think I’d be where I am today without that support system.
