Heather was amazing. She is very informative, clear, patient, and overall it was great taking this course with her

I was very happy with the Accounting training last week. Heather was the best! She was so helpful, detailed and patient. There were so many things I was not aware I could do or even had access to in Retail Link. I'm sure there will be more classes in my future as I take on more responsibility.
- Veronica - 7-26-22 Accounting
Heather Reid was just awesome! We only had three people in the class which was great because my co-worker and I had a lot of questions. She was very patient and thorough. We will definitely be taking additional classes with 8th & Walton!
