When starting at Poor Ridge/Bluegrass Bottling I was hired on quickly as a forklift operator. Their forklift operator had quit the day before and I had inquired about employment at just the right time. There were no guarantees that the job would last as they are in the process of opening their new facility and transitioning a lot of employees. I was let go, along with other warehouse personnel in December. The next day, the supervisor (my supervisor) that had delivered the news to us, was also let go. I’ve spoken with the owners since and was assured that if a new spot opened up they would contact me. I’d rather not have to go back there.

Experienced on stage musician focusing on upright bass, electric and acoustic bass and rhythm. I have been a full time musician for the last 9 years.

I’m still a musician but I no longer wish to travel.

I can’t say enough good things about Hobart. During one of M and E Specialty Contracting’s layoffs, I had went to the unemployment office to find another job and Hobart was hiring in the welding/fabrication department. I was hurt in an accident outside of work several months after starting there. The injuries required a couple of different surgeries with a lengthy time in between. They held my job for a very long time, called to check on me and were just outstanding people. I finally had to tell them not to hold my position as I really didn’t know when I could return. They were an excellent employer.

After working in and around alarm systems and having electrical knowledge, a few of us got together and opened our own ADT dealership for home security systems, fire alarm systems and offered surround sound capabilities for both commercial and residential customers. It did great for a few years but as the patent on ADT alarm systems was up, the market was flooded with other systems. I sold out my portion of the company to the other owners.
