“The company is great to work for! They provide great benefits and have a fun family atmosphere. Someone is always willing to help you learn what you're doing. We have lots of training classed in house but also from John Deere. I've been to Florida twice to learn how to operate and sell equipment so there is a lot of hands-on training.”
