Success Story

I would like to give a great appreciation to the company of Ōnin and management. Upon working at Ōnin I was welcomed with great hospitality. My managers at the time, Derek and Terrance, were great at giving well respected instructions. If anything was to be wrong they made sure they were on it or if I needed to be aware of any sudden changes or accusations I would be aware to make change. They had very high expectations for me. I believe if it wasn’t for them being great leaders I wouldn’t have extended this far to now being a Mercedes worker.
