Additional Notes from survey takers

  • Educational / Health - 1 - not a well known, safe or secure method. Totally unfounded
  • Business - 4 - Becuase of the way I accell at what I do. I have been acredited with expanding the compnay client base by considerable ammounts.
  • Educational / Health - 3 - Alot of the ideas involved money which the company wasn\'t willing to spend on a new idea. They like sticking to things that work for them at the time being.
  • Business - 4 - It is a small group dynamic, consisting of 5 total employees
  • Business - 3 - Well, working at 7-11 there isn't much room for new ideas, but certain optimization techniques i came up with were tried and some used
  • Business - 4 - Group and director is very open to new concepts and ideas for our group.
  • Educational - 4 - As you know our Boss is always open to new ways to advance technology.
