What do you like best about your job?
When asked what he likes most about his job Lester replied, “The thing I like best about my job is watching people grow. I like helping and developing them! It’s nice and rewarding to know that I’ve had an impact on employees’ lives to help them get better.”
Harry Wiggins, Store Manager adds:
“Lester is a vital part of the team here in Baton Rouge. He has been involved in the many transitions here at our Airline location over the past 16 years from working in delivery and receiving, to learning the accounting and office side of the store as well. He ensures that the I’s are dotted and the T’s crossed every day, often coming in before most are up to make sure that the day flows as it should. He is always involved with helping the sales staff with inventory issues or calming down an upset customer. He is a hard worker that never quits or takes shortcuts and is always in the fight. His efforts allow me and the rest of the team to focus on taking care of the customers and driving sales. I truly am blessed to have him as part of the team, and I can’t imagine the last 16 years without him in the co-pilot seat.”
