Today we interview another one of FSI’s terrific
employees. She is the first one to greet
our fabulous customers and the last one to see them out the door each day. What would we do without her?
How long have you
worked at FSI?
I have been with FSI for almost three and a half years.
What is your role
at FSI?
I am the receptionist.
What do you enjoy
about your job at FSI?
I enjoy being able to see the different products that we
ship for our customers. We have some great customers and so many of them have
fascinating stories behind their products.
What did you do
before FSI, and how in the world did you get roped in with these guys?
Where do I start?
My background includes payroll, production payroll, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, customer service, administrative assistant, stock photography
librarian (a boring job to be sure but I loved it), receptionist, and even real
estate. I came to FSI through a staffing agency.
What have been
some of your memorable moments from your time at FSI?
One memory that sticks out was during the regional
flooding Georgia experienced in September of 2009. There basically was
only one way to get to work. Like
so many who work in the Atlanta area I live on the west side and everyone that
lived on the west side was afraid the Department of Transportation would close a
key bridge in an area that was particularly hard hit. If they had done that we would not have been
able to get home. So while I love
working at FSI, I didn’t want to camp out here for three days!
FSI has enjoyed
some growth (13,000 ft² - 150,000+ ft²), longevity (14+ years), and won some
awards along the way since the business began in 1996. What would you
attribute FSI's success to?
That’s an easy one.
Very good customer service!
What do you enjoy
doing with your spare time outside of FSI?
I don’t get to do it as often as I used to, but I love
singing and dancing.
