I must say, I have been really impressed with the welcoming community at Summit. Everyone I’ve met so far has been so friendly and happy. It’s been a wonderful experience.
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.
My favorite Summit value is the community aspect. Since working here, I have seen how everyone seems to get along well and work well together. Everyone has a great attitude and is always very willing to help each other out.
I enjoy the variety of projects that I get to be involved in and the people I get to do them with. It’s great to celebrate the good with them, and they make hard days a little easier. We are all a team, and I am grateful to have that type of support.
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.
