Natalie, you have been with Taylor Root for a year now, how did you hear about Taylor Root and what made you want to join us?

I was approached by a recruiter for the position, but quickly learned that one of my friends had just joined The SR Group! My friend had nothing but wonderful things to say about the company. Then I met the some of the leaders and other future colleagues and the deal was sealed.

The Taylor Root team in New York is very close, but the entire office is super friendly. We know when to put our heads down and get the work done but we also do not forget to have fun. I know I can go to anyone on my team for assistance and anyone in the wider SR Group
