My two years at Prestolite Wire gave me experience in working in a manufacturing environment with a fast pace production atmosphere. Working as an assistant manager at Trees n Trends has given me experience in managing others, both above and below me. It has also taught me about dealing with customers on a daily basis. As the store manager at Trees n Trends I gained the experience of being responsible for entire operation of a retail store.
