| Quality System Technician Level II |
Leggett has what I consider a high rate of top executives and vice
presidents that have worked their way up through the ranks. Even the
present CEO began at Leggett as a truck driver back in the 50's. I find
that an encouraging sign that perhaps there is a chance for me to move
up in the ranks.
One of the things that I appreciate about Leggett is that they have
expanded into the International market, going to many countries to start
factories, yet keeping the Amercian factories open. In addition, Leggett
has a very diverse group of people working for them at their corporate
offices with people from many different countries and cultures
represented in the corporate offices. Considering that the corporate
offices are located in Carthage, MO, a very unknow and rural setting, I
find that impressive.
One of my disappointments when I was hired was the fact that my hours
were to be from 7 to 5, Monday through Friday. I would have liked to
have the extra hour in the morning as do most of the corporate group.
The R & D, Quality, and other like groups have an earlier start time
than do the rest of the corporate group.
The dress code here in the department is "office casual." However, the
dress code is not really enforced and therefore some of the office come
in jeans and tennis shoes, others always in slacks and polo shirts, and
others in Khakis. I find the relaxed atmosphere to my liking, despite
the fact that I would be willing to dress a bit more "UP" if the rest of
the group did as well.
Due to the fact that I am tri-lingual, speaking English, Portuguese and
Spanish fluently, I am assigned to the brances in Mexico, Brazil and
Spain. I enjoy the frequent travel, however, I have noticed that I earn
a lower wage than persons in other companies, or departments, whom are
required to travel, nationaly, and much less than those traveling
internationaly. I have been told that the best way to improve your
bottom line is to move from one department to another within Leggett. I
have tried to do this, but cannot move without my boss' approval.
