• Jessica Cranley, Teller, Westgate

Jessica got some nice news: “Hello, Jessica! I just received three very good surveys from customers about you. The common theme here was how nice you are and how welcome you make them feel when they visit your branch. Way to go and thank you for continuing to provide excellent service to our customers.”

And Mika did too: “I love when customers share stories about how well our team is doing. A customer mentioned how he appreciates you going beyond to help them with their difficult situation. Thank you for being who you are and caring so much for our customers. Thank you for turning a difficult situation into a positive interaction.”
