  • I was hired as a sales associate in 2007 at the Escondido location and within 5 months was offered a management position at their new location in Fallbrook. As a store manager, my duties included managing a staff of 10-12 employees, scheduling/payroll, hiring/termination/employee reviews, team building/leadership/employee advancement education, product knowledge and inventory control. Being a new store in a smaller town, I took a great interest in creating ways to outreach to the community to help promote our company. I took a grass roots approach within my community and came up with new and inventive ways to give back to our customers. My approach was so successful that I was asked by the owners of the company to implement and train other stores to roll out the same PR plan at their locations. In 2012 I decided to seek other employment because my hours were exceeding 60+ hours a week and traveling to other locations. I have a family and I felt that it was not in my family and I best interest to be away from home for that length of time.
