Deli Associate

I progressed through several positions at Ingles in the deli starting from production to the bulk case which is the front line and I was also responsible for a daily cutting of the meat serving the customers and any complaints as they have to find resolution. Also I did party trays and the sister with the cooking dishes and the production line. I was promoted to the salad bar for the complete operations overseen and making sure that everything was done in an efficient manner and this was turned over to our corporate office.. I ended up having to leave that job because I moved to Cumming Georgia so it wasn't feasible for me to work in Gainesville any longer.

Crew Trainer/Manager
Calhoun Management Corporation/Wendys - Gainesville, GA April 2015 to March 2020
I was responsible for all the training of the new hires on the major job objectives until they are successful in their current job. I was also responsible for all the cross-training of our current crew members for any bottlenecks that we found within our organization until final resolution.I also trained crew members anyone that it was interested in being promoted on their new job skills until the actual promotion was put in place.
As a Crew Trainer I was responsible for eight different stores in our district to come into their stores and do an analysis of their current workflow procedures and help them to find the bottlenecks and implement new and better procedures to eliminate these issues while at the same trying to see which people need to be fully trained or just need some for the cross training in certain areas which always benefits people when they go into it with the right frame of mindand and can think out of the box. You can identify crew members that really never received proper training and others that could easily be cross trained on different positions in order to make their store run more efficiently and also making them realize that they make a difference. Also, I have noticed just hhaving an outside perspective and being a trainer it was always a great success as far as you trying to come up with any solutions as a team because it makes the staff feel as if they are a part of a team and they make a difference. The key goal or the key to success the store is if they the management and staff members continue to implement what new ideas and procedures that we came up with so they can actually see The Proven results of what these procedures can make a difference in and possibly moving people to different positions and make a note more effective within the store and even moving some managers around to different stores to learn different perspectives. This process has proven time and time again to be a great benefit to a store and it makes people feel like a real team and it there contributions are valuable and they feel more dedicated and loyal to process I've never seen it fail I've seen it work but at times it may need to be revised and other people look at certain things but overall it's been a great process and I'm extremely proud of it and I hope it will continue. Another approach that can be taken is allow some staff members to come in and work in a training store for say which is what we were in the Gainesville area and they actually see how we train and you know how we go about to cross training and how we train our managers and how we move our managers around around so they get different perspectives of stores and they learn different ways of doing things it can only benefit managers and crew members in the long run if they implement the ideas that we have in order to make that store or more straight line and more customer oriented and focused. You would be amazed at some of the outstanding people that come out of this situation and some of them not to even knowing that they meant anything to the company they were just like a real an employee and they basically meant nothing which is so very untrue.
