What I Love About Alure:
The family atmosphere.
They accepted me being the new person and I watch as new people come in and they accept them as well. You can really talk to anyone from the bottom up, whether it’s in a fun manner, a work manner or a problematic manner. It is a pleasure to be here and knowing there is an upbeat atmosphere makes working at Alure even better.
