Thank you for your feedback on your experience in Tustin, and we appreciate you highlighting the value of the employee discount. We understand your perspective regarding compensation differences between our supervisory and sales positions. Our compensation strategies reflect the varied nature of our roles: the Systems Supervisor role provides critical, stable leadership and operational management, while sales roles have a different structure designed to reward direct sales performance. We highly value the essential leadership and expertise you bring to your team. We regularly review our compensation framework to ensure it remains competitive and fair across all departments, and we appreciate your input as part of that process.
