The most satisfying thing about working at WC&S is being able to help people. I feel like every day I’m on a mission – not always a good or sweet story. I have this support system that I know no matter what happens with my clients, my team will support and understand me.
I’ve never worked anywhere before where people are treated so nicely, validated, and it feels like everyone’s ideas and jobs are valued by the leadership team.
