"We are especially excited to have ranked number one in all eight attributes of reputation categories, an achievement that validates our position as an industry leader and our ongoing commitment to our customers."

It's good to hear some good news reputation-wise about the company. Hope things turn around economy wise so the industry and the company get better and much needed boost.
