I was well trained so I felt very confident in my role. I had all the supplies and tools necessary. My coworkers were supportive and very competent. Small team, but strong in what we do. Our boss, the owner was down to earth, helpful and understood the demands that a working mother might run into. She worked hard for us and it made us want to work hard for her.
