Pros
Marigold is polite and professional. She goes above and beyond to ensure the contractor is well informed and has everything needed to be successful. She helped me with onboarding and getting used to the timesheet app and she answers my texts promptly, even after hours. She is a great recruiter liason. Gladys was a super helpful with onboarding and Denise will hook you up with benefits with no trouble at all. Great team to work with.
Cons
Onboarding is somewhat tedious, but they do dot every "i" and cross every T.

Seward, AK
About
The coastal town of Seward sits along Resurrection Bay, inhabited by sea otters, sea lions, harbor seals, porpoises, humpbacks and orca whales. It's the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park, home to tidewater glaciers and the vast Harding Icefield. Seward is also a paradise for outdoor adventurers. The area offers some of the finest hiking and paddling throughout Alaska, with the chance to paddle to secluded coves around the bay to discover sea lion hangouts, tidewater caves and bird rookeries. The five-mile coastal trail to Caines Head is one of the state's top hikes, and in the quirky downtown area, you'll find colorful murals, a brewery, unique shops and eateries. The Resurrect Art Coffeehouse and Gallery, set in an old church, is an enchanting spot to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee and fresh-baked pastry while marveling at the works of local artists on the walls.
