Another stated, “The company resonates with the community; it promotes and gives back in many ways.”
The testimonials highlight the connection Island Pacific has fostered within its team and the community.
Javier Bravo, a long-term employee, echoed that sentiment, “Being part of Island Pacific is like being part of a big, supportive family. That is why I have been here since the supermarket started 20 years ago.”
