Operations employees operate in a team-based environment; human resources employees promote a people-oriented atmosphere.
The sales department is run in a highly competitive way; the executives at Domino Grace seek a stable revenue stream instead of spending resources pursuing new revenue streams.
Sales employees are actively encouraged to take risks; accounts employees are rewarded based on the percentage of their clients that stay with Domino Grace.
