Why Work at CPL

Three speech bubbles with quotes from CPL employees. The first in a teal bubble says: "CPL is a great environment to work in for my professional and personal well-being." The second blue speech bubble says, "I feel very valued at CPL. This in turn makes me go to the extra mile, which makes me feel even more valued, and on and on. It's a great cycle." The third orange speech bubble says, "The number one thing I love about working here is working with a great group of people."
