Uppers
I love my job because I deal with so many different types of people. Not only
customers but vendors as well. I'm a numbers person so doing the receivables is a
joy and sometimes a chanlenge when the customer thinks they done't owe you that
much. Our staff is like a family from the general manager to the warehouse new
staff we are on first name basis and know the spouses as well. When we plan
outside of work events all of our staff joins us.

Downers
The only downer that I can think of is that with receivables I sometimes have to
contact our customer from home after hours when their accounts are past due and I
have to hold orders.

Lifestyle
We work 8 hours monday to thursday and 7 hours on friday this gives us a little
head start on the weekend.travel is not issue in my position, we like our office
staff to dress and be proffessional. We have out of office events like BBQ's and
of course our Christmas parties are great, the company supplies everything.

Compensation
The office staff starting wage is $8.00 an hour, but if you excel at the job you
climb the wage ladder quickly. I now have worked here for 18 years and get $14.00
and hour with bonuses. My bonuses will vary depending on the bottom line of
receivables.

Advice to Jobseekers
As a newcomer to this field I would like to tell them that as an office manager
always appear calm, collected and friendly. Know how to speak properly and
clearly. Never let a customer or your staff see you rattled by anything. Office
managers, I feel, will always be in demand. This job releives General Managers of
the resposible of over seeing the day to day of the bussiness.
