"I have been working with The Dufresne Group for over a decade, and the reason why is simple: it's the people. I have never worked for a company that is so invested in developing and supporting their people, and I think that fact shows when you look at how many of us celebrate 5, 10, 20+ year milestones with the company. I love having the opportunity to use my skills on a daily basis and to feel as if I am really making a difference in the lives of our guests. I get to work hard and also have fun. It's the perfect balance, and I am so glad to work for TDG."

"Since becoming a Store Principal, I find work is a lot less “work-like”. I have almost full control of my store’s direction, community affiliations and ultimately, it’s success! The Principal model has opened me up to thinking more like an owner and gives me the autonomy to design and chase big deals. The position definitely keeps me on my toes and challenges me to think outside of the box to make business-changing decisions with the goal of catering my store to the market we serve. I have found my perspective of the business has changed; rather than being a manager, I am now a fully engaged puzzle solver."

"I appreciate the relationships and friendships I have grown since joining the Dufresne team. My support person challenges me and holds me accountable in a fair way, and comes to the table with a “what can we do to fix this” approach. A true leader isn’t focused on producing short term results, they’re madly focused on long term growth and reinvention, and that’s what this company is about."
