“I could not be happier working for James River. I worked here several years and left for “greener pastures”. It took me about a month to realize what a mistake I had made. I really missed my team and feeling a part of something. James River is a very accommodating place to work. I feel welcomed here and the benefits are great. I’m glad they found a place for me again!”
