Fixed Operations Director Cliff Olivera on lessons from the pandemic about being a better employer:
“Our team and leadership group have had discussions using 360-degree views, from the customer, the associates and the needs of the business.”

General Manager Mark Perryman on evolving compensation structure in the COVID era:
