Voted “Best Place to Work” Again!

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

QKA was named 2009 Best Place to Work by North Bay Business Journal!!! As a two-time winner, we had the 2nd highest score in our category (based on number of employees). It’s rare for a company of nearly 50 to maintain the family atmosphere we have here at QKA. To all my co-workers who voted again this year–thank you for showing Mark & Steve what a wonderful environment they’ve fostered.
