At some companies, customer support is a cost center. 

A necessary evil that they’re forced to pay for to keep their customers from leaving.

Where support agents are a commodity, evaluated on their ability to save the business money.

Groove isn’t one of those companies.

Support is the lifeblood of our business. We exist to make our customers happy and successful. To deliver support that’s so good that our customers can’t help but tell their friends.
