What do you like best about your job?
“What I like best about my job is being able to work with good people. Home Furniture has wonderful management. I appreciate the benefits, like the holiday pay, hurricane pay, etc. Plus, I like working all the trucks in receiving! It’s also good exercise!”
Carleen Melancon, Co-Distribution Center Manager, adds:
“Leighton works in our receiving department. He is responsible for offloading receiving trucks on a daily basis. Once the trucks are all offloaded, Leighton will then assist in offloading the Intercompany transfers that come back to the Distribution Center.
Leighton has a phenomenal attendance record and he has had perfect attendance since the day he started. Awesome job Leighton!! He will always be the first person on the receiving dock ready and willing to start work. Leighton has a pleasant attitude and is respected by all his fellow co-workers.”
