"I feel as though the job has helped me get a better schedule and helped me to create a healthier lifestyle. The routine and job has allowed me to plan workouts and eat well around it so that has been good for me. . . . I really like the routine the warehouse provides and opportunity to get more efficient at processes. . . . I have greatly appreciated the opportunity to work with CompostNow and hope to continue to do so in a meaningful way. This is a much different workplace than I have experienced previously, and it is great to see the respect and gratitude everyone pays each other."

"I get a lot out of making sure I'm doing what I can to help everything run smoothly, and keeping our location clean and organized. . . . I enjoy connecting with the other employees when we get a chance, and being part of a small family of good positive people who want to help each other. I also find the work itself satisfying and very doable. It's nice to see before and after. A bunch of dirty buckets to a bunch of pyramided clean buckets. Or, not many bags of soil to 40 more bags of soil. I like the independence and having the flexibility to choose what needs to be done and when. I enjoy being able to physically do the job well. I feel stronger. Not to mention, having a job that helps the planet. It's much easier to work hard for a cause you believe in."
