The center is filled with textbooks, school supplies, visual aids, and technology, and Bennett is eager to accommodate any student who walks through the door. This is the most organized company I have ever worked with, and the effective and efficient communication from Bennett made my job smooth and easy. I was able to meet the most incredible students here and I will take everything I’ve learned with me to future positions.
