It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my departure from my position at IT'SUGAR. My 14 months with this awesome company was a lot of work but also got me some amazing rewards in return, and I met some wonderful people. Being on my own and working for this company has made me discover (and re-discover) so much about myself. I will miss it and the people I have worked for. I thank everyone for their support and love! The BEST Candy Store EVER!!! I LOVE my career with IT'SUGAR! In February I was promoted to the Ventian Grand Canal Shoppes "Flagship" location, from the Town Square Location thanks to a great staff and amazing support from our corporate office in Florida. We sell bulk candy, oversized candy, novelty items, and the Sugarpova Line! My words cannot express it, check out www.itsugar.com to see it!
