Western Inventory Service Work Values

Daily Duties at Western Inventory Service:

As a District Manager (09/1995-11/1998), contributed to growth of Western Inventory Service’s capability and profits by effectively planning, training, scheduling, and developing a staff of up to 50 to meet or exceed company’s goals in Northern BC/AB Canada. Controlled $1,500,000 revenue budget and lead various inventory teams to deliver customer service excellence. After 3 years of proven results in Canada, received a promotion to deliver the same results in Upstate NY (11/1998-11/1999). Shortly after, accepted an opportunity to take charge of a newly created position as a Regional Trainer/VP Assistant working directly with the Vice President in Allentown, PA (11/1999 – 11/2001).

What they like about Western Inventory Service:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
