We have recently promoted one of our team members (who came through MWLFS) to Operations Manager. She has been the hardest working, dedicated employee and excels in everything she does. Co-workers and clients alike love her! I would advise prospective employers looking to use MWLFS to take the time and discuss your needs so that MWLFS are best equipped to find you the right person. MWLFS are not just another employment agency, they genuinely care and want the best for everyone! Ally has been great to deal with, always going above and beyond, checking in as needed to see if there is anything that can be done. We appreciate Ally tremendously!”
