Our pace is fast — there is no denying that. Our goal is to be the preeminent department in the ACC, and to be that, we can’t slow down. We are driving full speed down the interstate, and we expect you to merge into traffic with us. But we invest in our people and help them assimilate and grow, and we want you to be a part of this department.
