Supportive colleagues overshadowed by discrimination issues

Site quality manager

Pros

Easy to step into from 3rd party company. The people worked with daily were great.

Cons

Disability discrimination. Views a person standing on their right to disability accommodations as "unprofessional" due to badgering from contractor. Wouldn't accept medical paperwork directly from the VA as evidence in the matter.
