Earning this designation means that Paragon is one of the best companies to work for in the country.”

“The relationship between the management is stellar and I can rely on them to talk to and to be open and honest. I enjoy the management because they don’t just think of themselves and they often think of everyone regardless of the time of day. They truly look out for your best interest and if you are uncomfortable they are always willing to step in and help. This workplace has given me so much confidence in myself and I truly can’t thank them for all they have done.”
