Current MANAGER'S OVERALL COMMENTS (Annual Review)
- “Sharlyn was able to contribute to the Dept. immediately following her arrival. She is an incredibly quick learner & has basically mastered every AR-related system function. She is very savvy with Excel now & I believe she can be a super-user in that application with minor coaching.Sharlyn exemplifies 'Customer Service.' Her lessees are quite spoiled because Sharlyn consistently delivers when it comes to validating billings or accommodating requests. Internally, Sharlyn has proved to be a great fit within the team & Company as a whole. Her Account Executives appreciate her thoroughness & communication. She has a great relationship with departments she heavily relies on such as EOL & Lease Admin. This certainly helps resolve issues & streamline processes in a timelier fashion.Overall, Sharlyn has been a pleasure to work with. She has built up her confidence in handling the day-to-day tasks & I foresee her being one of our SME's down the road. I believe she can help the Dept. by taking on a bit more workload.”
