Tom V – Construction Industry
I receive prompt and courteous attention to my needs. My job, often times, has me running 100 mph in every conceivable direction, so when an issue arises within our drug testing arena, CJ Cooper jumps on it for me. Tracy and the other girls are professional and care about us as a client. Not only do they answer the phone with a smile (I can tell), but they make sure that all my questions are answered to my satisfaction and understanding. To partner with CJ Cooper is a win all the way around!
