About Us:
A company's culture is not a destination or a human resources program of the month, it is a journey. It is a collection of all the small actions and big strategies, the monumental decisions and the minute interactions which make up each day. Every company has a culture. Some choose to take what they get while others work hard to create and nurture a culture that is fundamental to their success. This company acknowledges the associate as a key stakeholder and works as hard to create outlandishly engaged associates as they do to create returning, raving guests. This culture is known as "The Journey".
