What I appreciate most about Perdue is the company's focus on safety and the sense of community among my colleagues. They really emphasize that every associate should go home safe and healthy each day, and you see that commitment in the daily safety huddles and inspections. It makes a difference knowing they care about us, and that teamwork makes the challenging work feel more manageable.
