To whom it may concern,

ProMotion Distributing employed Jeannie McAllister December 7, 2020 through December 31,2024. Jeannie began her career in Pro-Motion working in our receiving department, then made a switch over to our packing department. Jeannie oversaw that all merchandise entering the warehouse was in pristine condition and counts were accurate. During that time, she also worked beside her receiving lead to ensure that projects were up to date. Jeannie created projects for items that were damaged, shorted, or overages we received in a shipment. Jeannie moved over to packing to begin her knowledge of all warehouse operations.

While working in packing, Jeannie insured that all cartons that she packed out met shipping requirements. Jeannie later moved on to learn scan picking and IC, learning the basics of each department in her pursuit of a promotion. Jeannie was trained and holds certification to operate forklifts, order pickers, and is AED certified. Jeannie is detail oriented and enjoys assisting others to ensure all daily tasks get done, always willing to work long hours to help management. Unfortunately, Pro-Motion closed the doors in December 2024, the reason why Jeannie was relieved of her duties. Jeannie is someone who can be trusted and will always give her all for her management team. If given the opportunity to hire Jeannie once again, I would hire her immediately.

Please feel free to reach out via phone or email with any questions or concerns you may have.

Sincerely,

David Cisneros
