What do you enjoy most about what you do at ML&R?
Working with a great team and great clients.
What does work-life balance mean to you? How does ML&R facilitate work-life balance?
Work-life balance means having the opportunity to be challenged and continue learning daily, while also never missing anything meaningful with my family. It means I’m at all sporting and school events and I’m home for dinner with them every night, but I also get to have a challenging, rewarding career.
What makes ML&R a “Best Place to Work”?
Our focus on people. It is great to work at a place that values their employees and wants them to have both a rewarding home and work life.
What do you enjoy about working for a locally-owned firm?
All decisions are made locally. When an issue arises, we solve it here in our office. This enables us to resolve issues quickly and stay focused on meeting our client deadlines. I also love our commitment to the local community that we work in.
