Employee Interview - Betty Stringer, Receptionist

by Forrest Marbutt 29. July 2011 10:17

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.
