Summary

Hello My name is Samantha Whitacre I'm an single mom of a 10 year old son. I've been working for the Walmart Company for almost 6 years now in the FID area. I've learned a lot from working for this company over the years and enjoyed learning about all the new developments since I started here and would love to continue to keep learning. Since I started here I've learned about operating freight, batching the freight, throwing the freight, training others how to operate and stay safely. I've got the chance to become a research clerk and end coder in the FID area which does help a lot better with training others to understand what they're throwing on the lines not only in the FID area but from the receiving area. I'm willing to keep going and get more educated in the Walmart Environment so I can understand more on how the company operates everything. I'm a hard, patient, and fast learner/worker.
