"The control of the job gives me satisfaction when everything goes well and I have met timelines accordingly."

"I love the people I work with. I show them the respect I think they deserve and they go above and beyond for me as a Manager. Our team has come a long way in the last 5 months and our Service Center is finally becoming successful with the new management group in place."

"I love the technology aspect of this position. In the electronics world there is always a push to have faster, and larger capacity. There was always new equipment to learn. On the downside, the company philosophy was to centralize all possible work, so, a large amount of control to make an impact on customers was lost."

"My forte is engineering and customer satisfaction in the MFG industry, specifically semiconductors. I love working in the fast-paced and challenging world of MFG and still able to utilize my strong engineering background. The challenging side of an Operations Manger, is the number of hours that are dedicated to this position."

"I love putting out fires, creating harmony from chaos.I have red tape, budget crunching, and co-employment from senior operations managers, especially in a contractor environment."

"Love working with people, hate lack of support from decision makers."

"People and customers. My personality is an extravert. So it is easy for me to communicate and listen to the needs and establish goals and get results. My extensive background with Iron Mountain and military has molded me into a true leader."

"I really loved being the operations manager at FS Energy, as I helped drive energy efficiency and cost reduction for our clients to improve their quality of life. However, the director of the department was constantly pushing far too much work on the team and causing high amounts of stress in the department. The director of the department did not seem to have a comprehensive understanding of the role of an operations manager. The director also resisted my attempts to create a formal training program for new employees to improve the learning curve and productivity of new hires."

"Direct interaction with the customer, and the challenges I have faced and the resolution helped me to create new skills for me and identify the characters about me which I have not understood before."

"There are many rewarding aspects of this company."

"Having four days off a week is great, but also it may be an inconvenience because my schedule rotates and may interfere with my lifestyle outside of work."

"It is nice to be the head of such a great thing as is an operation in any area. It is great being responsible of the good things created, made, elaborated and developed in the operation. Same way it is pretty hard to have the guilt of all the bad things that could happen during the processes. But it is part of the job, besides, there are more good than bad things. Lead a team and feel the pride of success is such an amazing thing, like the satisfaction of good team work."

"I love the fact that I can use my experience to help mentor and promote growth around up and coming employees."
