The benefits of both the medical insurance and the Florida retirement system are great to have access to. There are also additional benefits afforded to every employee that come from the office specifically. The hours are consistent with M-F, with many federal holidays being covered. The workplace culture is top notch. Everyone is very supportive and helpful.

Training is thorough, and there is a strong focus on accuracy, customer service, and continuous improvement. Leadership sets clear expectations and leads with fairness and transparency, there is a genuine effort to ensure employees feel heard and valued. The work can be demanding, especially during peak seasons, but the team-oriented mindset makes a noticeable difference. The office also does a good job balancing professionalism with understanding.
