What makes it a Best Place to Work:

■ From Day 1, everyone has been super accepting and welcoming. I know I can lean on any of them when I need help or I’m not sure of the best way to go about doing something. They want me to be successful and are very helpful.

■ I love working for the NEC. My boss is amazing and wants to see me do well. She encourages me and trusts my judgment. I feel valued and respected.

■ The leadership cares about me as a person and gives me what I need to do my job effectively.
