"Through the interview process, everyone I talked to raved about how wonderful and supportive the culture is here. After starting and speaking to others, they have all backed-up that feeling. I was nervous going into the finance industry, but Five Star prides themselves on diversity and inclusion and it shows. I have never worked somewhere that really stands by what they say they do. This place really is a great place to work. The name says it all, they really do get all five stars."
