The absolute best company I have ever worked for. I worked as a remote field service technician for Douglas. Training was top notch and very fun. Louis and Damon were good trainers and know what they are doing. Building machines, programming, debugging was an absolute blast for me. (and they paid me for all that fun) Most of my jobs came from Advisor Eric Koenig who always provided the support and resources I needed while in the field. The employees and staff are very friendly and helpful. My manager, Kevin Imsdahl was the best manager I've ever had. Always checking on my well being, making sure
