Twenty Questions with New Employees
We have some new employees we’d like to introduce to you. They come from various backgrounds and have been fitting in well and contributing to the success of Merit Tool! We thought it might be fun to play twenty questions with them. Enjoy.
Roger Bond @ the Karstens OD Grinder
ROGER BOND:
WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT WORKING AT MERIT TOOL?
I like the atmosphere and the people.
WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE WORKING HERE COMPARED TO YOUR PREVIOUS JOB?
I like working here and love what I do. I worked my previous job for 35 years before coming to Merit Tool. Although I’m learning how to work on different machines from what I’m used to, I still enjoy coming to work every day and love what I do.
DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES? WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING OUTSIDE OF WORK?
I love to hunt and fish. I enjoy being outdoors and doing any kind of outside activities.
Cindy Chandler @ all things administrative
CINDY CHANDLER:
WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT WORKING AT MERIT TOOL?
I love how everyone works together as a team to get the job done. Everyone is very respectful of each other, and they pitch in and help others when necessary. You will never find anyone just standing around doing nothing. The work environment is great here, and I’m proud to be part of an awesome team!
WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE WORKING HERE COMPARED TO YOUR PREVIOUS JOB?
Working at Merit Tool is great! It’s definitely a lot less stressful than my last job, and there is more structure and organization, which makes my job so much easier and enjoyable.
DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES? WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING OUTSIDE OF WORK?
I enjoy spending time outside whether it’s taking walks along the park trails, a good BBQ with friends, or just working in the yard. I believe family is very important and I especially enjoy spending time with my 3 children and I am looking forward to the birth of my 1st grandchild in June!
John Davis @ the Okuma L300E-MY
JOHN DAVIS:
WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT WORKING AT MERIT TOOL
That all employees seem to work at their individual highest degrees of effort.
Can’t beat a 4–day work week
Comfortable work environment
Everyone works cohesively toward the common goal of maximizing results.
WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE WORKING HERE COMPARED TO YOUR PREVIOUS JOB?
So far, what I’m most proud to be a part of is how detail oriented we are here towards quality and craftsmanship. I can’t count how many times we sent parts to a customer that were not 100% correct at my previous employer.
DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES? WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING OUTSIDE OF WORK?
I’m a long time guitarist, first and foremost. Along with that, I enjoy the motorcycle atmosphere. Often times, I’m genuinely content sitting and admiring nature’s beauty from our kitchen window at home. Things of interest are Indiana’s birds, trees, and wildlife. Sounds like I’m getting old…HaHa!
