Departments
In working with Shear, you'll find that our company is not overly regimented. Everyone understands their role but is willing to help out wherever needed to see a job through. You'll never hear a member of our staff say, "that's not my job." Though we believe whole-heartedly in this open approach, it's necessary to separate our company into a few departments. Whether it's customer service or production, it takes everyone we have to make our clients look their best.
