"I heard about Cannon Building while attending a career fair at Cal Poly Pomona. Immediately, the professionalism and communication—which I’ve come to learn are hallmarks of the company—made a significant impression on me. I wanted to be a part of the culture that Cannon Building represented. Since then, my time at Cannon Building has given me a level of professional development and improvement which I haven’t experienced in any other job atmosphere."
