Initially I was drawn to Kent State because of all the opportunities available to you as an employee and those are still a plus, but I’d say what really keeps me here are the people I work with. They are helpful, cooperative and friendly. The clients I work for are also amazing! Always friendly and helpful, even though dealing with technology can be frustrating. I have made many friends.
