"When we hear the firsthand accounts from people who's lives have been touched by these technologies .... my heart literally soars. I LOVE this job."
I especially appreciate that employees are encouraged to think and dream and put forward suggestions and ideas. It’s not just a suggestion box stuck in a corner that gathers dust. It’s all part of the caring and respect that SOTA shows its customers AND employees … part of our values as a company.

"We're here to surpass customer expectations. We honor the customer. We make a difference for customers and ourselves with the environment SOTA creates."
"Not selling but making sure customers are informed so they only buy if they really want our products."

"I appreciate everything! I tell everyone that I have the best work place. The people around me are so positive and helpful. There are no politics."

What we appreciate about working together as a team
"Everyone works together to get things done. We have harmony in our workplace."
I really value the fact things are done in teams. As teams we produce a better result.
"I love the work environment. It's supportive, collaborative and our input is valued. We support each other as a team."

It's a gift to work in an environment where I can be honest and feel free to be myself ... lots of love, laughter and energy.
What we are learning
"To check my ego at the door. I'm learning not to be personally attached to what I do ... to contribute to the best of my ability and allow the team to contribute and refine my work."
I'm learning to follow my heart.
"To trust my own abilities and to challenge my abilities rather than accept the status quo."
I'm learning patience to enjoy the process. That life is more about the process or journey rather than the result or destination. This is teaching me humility.
"I'm open to learning ... it's a gift. I'm learning patience and an understanding of what some customers are going through."
