Great and supportive coworkers. Learned a lot about new computer programs, skills and how to interact/communicate with different business people and associates on different subject matter.

Outsourced a lot of the work. Not a lot of optionality for upward trajectory in the business. I outperformed and took on additional duties with no additional compensation or promotion.
