He is highly respected by all those he interacts with, and many compliments have been forwarded to management regarding his superior customer service work ethic. He is well respected by all of our customers and other staff because of his customer friendly personality, his professional demeanor, and to be counted on to help each customer or fellow employee through all of their needs.

Tom works with little oversight and can be fully trusted to accept any level of responsibility. He is always dependable to get any job done. Tom regularly volunteers to assist as needed with other areas of work within the division, whether customer relations, materials handling, integrating new software in our inventory system, or even to work past regular hours to prepare property for auction. He is a valuable asset through his job knowledge, versatility, and willingness to be a strong team player.
