Response to Kaitlin's Post

After reading Kaitlin's blog, she left off with the question... Have you ever had a job where the commitment was noticeable and everyone around you tended to have a good attitude? What made it so enjoyable?
For four years I worked at my dad's work, Nerac, a fairly large research business in our town. The company did a lot for the employees which made the job very enjoyable. Their were potlucks, buffets, holiday parties, and all sorts of festivities for the employees. They would have made up holidays like "bring your pet to work day" etc. Nerac would also give out UCONN tickets and have all sorts of lotteries and prizes. There was always something to look forward to. These type of gatherings really kept the employees motivated and looking forward to coming into work. It also helped gain relationships within the workplace. Also, as for me as an intern I made pretty good pay for someone my age at the time. This was obviously an excellent incentive to work hard for the company. Overall, I had a really positive attitude about working for the business.
