The Lincoln Electric Company Work Values

Daily Duties at The Lincoln Electric Company:

I started with Lincoln in Cleveland in '78 as a International Distributor Manager until '91 and then moved to Miami, FL to take on the role as Regional Manager-Latin America. This was a new "green-field" operation that I built and staffed. It included order entry, a training center and a sales and service support for Lincoln's entire Latin America and Caribbean business segment.

What they like about The Lincoln Electric Company:

A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.
