Having fun at work is a must! We're so glad you've had a chance to enjoy our annual summer outing, just wait until you get the opportunity to attend our winter party! Starting a new job always means starting out fresh, and we appreciate your feedback about our leave policy. We continually review our benefits, including our Paid Time Off, and we will take your feedback into consideration. In the interim, we encourage you to work closely with your manager for the time off you need; we do our best to accommodate those types of requests.
