Alana was very professional and acknowledged my concerns and held my hand all the way through the process. She is a true asset to the company and should be promoted. It is hard enough trying to find good customer service in the world let alone on your desktop. You just don't expect good service, but she is reshaping the industry for online service. I would rather have her than a robot or rude person with no knowledge. I have more confidence in my writing, because of her I have more knowledge. Also, grateful OCU makes this service avaiable. The company should be proud of themselve and for having such a great employee!
