What makes it a Best Place to Work:

■ Aquarius is a company that prioritizes people. Be that internally, with flexible working hours and kind and caring mangers and senior leadership, or externally, when serving our clients.■ I feel my organization offers me the chance to grow and become a better person and employee. My organization challenges me in healthy ways and I feel valued as an employee. In my experience I feel Aquarius recognizes each employee and sees the value that they bring to the company.

■ The organization offers ample opportunity to grow and succeed in the sports industry. As a “small” company, the organization can react nimbly to allow for continued growth and opportunities for all team members. Benefits and flexibility are excellent.
