With a workforce of over 2,000 employees , some of whom have been with the company for 30 years , these individuals ' dedication and hard work have been pivotal to the company ’ s success . " NMS is a great organization with a lot of good , hardworking employees spread throughout Alaska ," Osborne emphasizes .
