I love the people that I work with. It's a very team emphasized environment.
What I wish was different
I wish that I could've worked more with the night crew, we were a tight group. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the morning crew as well.

It's far easier to work as a team to accomplish a goal then to try and figure it out all by yourself. There has to be some sort of foundation of trust and reliance.
