Experience

Footprint - Merchandiser— January 2017 to current

Working part-time servicing various Dollar General stores in central Arkansas applying security tags to various products within the store. Have enjoyed working for with this company and having the opportunity to make my own schedule with the only company restriction is that all work has to be completed within the required time. On April 23, 2019 my husband suddenly passed away and now, unfortunately, need to look for additional work or a position with more hours.

Acosta - Merchandiser - 6-2017 to 8-2019

Responsibilities included but not limited to doing audits, displays, stocking various vendors products, checking for OOD product, obtaining space for displays and any cut-in at various Walmart in Central Arkansas. In 2018 transferred to the C-store division and was responsible for servicing approx. 180 various C-stores/gas stations in Central Arkansas. Set up displays, cut in new product, presented new product to the store owners by handing out samples, took orders, inventory, and ordered any new display cases necessary to help promote vendor product.

Field Service Supervisor - Advantage Sales and Marketing - 2013 to 2017

Supervised between 35-80 merchandiser covering Arkansas and Southern Missouri. Duties included but not limited to scheduling merchandisers various jobs/special projects each week within their assigned territories, audit work once completed, visiting with and building work relationship with various store managers solving any issues that may arise from work not completed on time to work not completed as assigned, hiring new merchandiser when needed, and training all new employees prior to them being given a territory. Serviced stores such as big box retail stores (Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Walgreens to smaller box stores as Dollar General and C-Stores). Some stores had weekly assignments while others stores were special projects only. Duties also included approving payroll, approving vacations/sick leave, and expense reports each Monday along with any mileage that was to be reimbursed to the merchandisers. Also make sure employee files were kept current regarding time off, any issues that may occur with employees (no call/no shows to store resets or special projects, failure to communicate or failure to complete assigned work). Worked with RDM and HR if any issues did occur with any rep or their work.

I will dedicate 120% of my time and energy to my work for any company that I work for as I did with Advantage. I enjoyed working with my reps, my managers, and my team. I am willing to take on all responsibilities and all challenges that any position brings and am willing to tackle even more challenges that any company has to offer. I am proud to say that while working for Advantage I did meet all goals (including maintaining 98-100% store coverage) in order to receive each quarterly bonus and the highest yearly bonus the company offered.

Merchandiser - 2005 to 2010 worked for various merchandising companies doing project work, resets, and audits. Thru hard work was promoted to lead then trainer to territorial lead and them supervisor. Main job responsibilities including but not limited to training, working with and supervising employees in Arkansas, Missouri, and Louisiana. Completed major projects including mapping of a major hardware store plumbing and carpet departments that included stores in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Missouri in a short period of time (32 stores in 29 days).

Owner/Operator - Custom ID Solutions ` 2000 - 2005

Prior to 9/11 my husband and I stated a family business called Customer ID Solutions. After 9/11 we started producing American Flags since there was such a demand for them. During the day I would make sales calls or called on companies that had called requesting our product. Then in the evening I would make/design the product for the orders taken that day (either in person or over the phone) for delivery the next day. During the time we were producing flags we were also producing and designing photo ID, business cards, key chain ID’s, bag tags, school ID’s, etc all on plastic cards plus designing web pages and logo’s for various companies. After 9/11 we were producing over 15,000 flag pins a day to supply the demand needed for banks, churches, and the general public. We closed the business in late 2007 when we found out our daughter had cancer so that I could devote my full attention to her care.

Prior to moving to Arkansas I worked in the accounting/data entry department for some major corporations including but not limited to the following companies

Vidal Sassoon - Beverly Hills, CA - accounting department/data entry

Kitchen of Sara Lee - Los Angeles, CA - account executive - sales/accounting

J. W. Bateson - Dallas Texas - accounting department/data entry

Carnation Company - Dallas, Texas - accounting/sales/data entry/tracing

After moving to Little Rock taught business/accounting at Southern Technical College until the campus closed due to the economy. After the campus closed I decided to continue my education and went back to school to obtain my certification as an EMT-P and received my AA in Emergency Management and received my Firefighter 1 Certification at ASU - Magnolia.

I am not afraid of hard work or starting early. Most of my positions I am usually at work between 4:30 am and 5:00 am and in most cases don’t get home until after 4:00 (sometimes later depending). Familiar with Windows, Apple, and Android operating systems as I own both a Window and Apple laptops. I do enjoy the challenge of learning new software, equipment, and keeping up with current technology. Experience in various accounting positions, data entry, and have experience in working for an automotive repair facility learning how to use their new software for repair pricing/accounting. I love the challenges and won’t stop until I’ve learned it.

Thank you for your consideration.
