🏆 October Employee of the Month: Joe Marts
Joe is a great asset of the Operations Department often referred to as the “Swiss Army knife” of the team, as he assists with Security, IT and Event Setup whenever needed. He quickly stepped up to become the official forklift operator supporting the lower loading dock, outside storage and the Security Department. He is extremely reliable and can always be counted on across all departments at a moment’s notice.
Thank you for all you do, Joe! 👏
