The whole hiring process from beginning till end! I received step by step explanations and support. Im extremely grateful to Shea for the personal calls to welcome me on board and making me feel like a valuable employee. I’m really sad I couldn’t have stayed with DP longer but also am grateful I was able to have such a great experience.

Cons

None! I can’t think of anything as the whole process was seamless!
