Coworkers Thoughts

Timothy has quickly become a vital part of our team by working hard to complete his tasks accurately and on time. He has shown himself to be very capable, learning new complex tasks with apparent ease. It’s been a pleasure working with him and I look forward to seeing how he will continue to grow in skills and knowledge through his work here.

- Britnee Bertsch, Supervising Manager

"When I first met Kirk he was pulling double duty for Dean, working the pay phone side of the business and learning about CO2. It was shortly thereafter he became a full time Reliant employee. Kirk has always been a pleasure to work with because of his can do attitude.  It was easy for him to be a team player as he exceled in all sports especially baseball growing up. I will never forget the times he would sing for us, he has a future as a Vegas lounge singer, should he become bored. I wish Kirk and Amy all the best enjoying their well-deserved retirement."
