"This past year, our staffing goals focused on adding resources to groups that had direct contact with customers," said Kate Lengyel, Vice President of Human Resources.

Some of our competitors outsource key customer facing areas such as installation, repair, and customer service – and we believe that we need our own associates to provide the highest level of customer support possible."
