Hello, and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, although we are disappointed to hear that you did not leave us with a more favorable impression. Providing competitive total compensation as well as ongoing opportunities for training and career growth are major priorities for us as a company, so we are sorry to hear that you did not feel that was the case. We hope you had a chance to share your feedback with local leadership or HR before your departure, and would still welcome the chance to speak with you in more detail if you are open to reaching back out. We wish you the best, and thank you again for your feedback.

Thank you so much for taking the time to pay us such a tremendous compliment! It’s music to our ears to hear your ringing endorsement of our leadership teams and the empowerment and support you felt while working here. The worst part about exiting any market is saying goodbye to so many talented and hardworking employees, and we are sorry that our time together ended. We hope you have continued to enjoy a rewarding career in the industry, and please keep in touch should you ever find yourself relocated to another of our markets!
