Summary

Being at 1-800-Pack-Rat has been a good experience. It seems like everything I have done leading up to the Operations Management Position had uniquely prepared me to be a Rock Star. Our store in Chattanooga has grown year over year as we could. My Team topped 2023 with Utilization across the entire company. #1. Learning from other Operation Managers and

passing my knowledge to veteran along with new trained managers has been one of my best enjoyed times with the company. I feel like I have room to grow and will be a rock star in the next roll with 1-800-Pack-Rat.
