Don Oxford
Working with Dana Crites for several years in the Spectrum Brands Hardware and Home Improvement Group Plant in Denison, TX, I appreciated the help and support that she provided as the HR Generalist to all the employees. During a long period of restructuring and getting by with less, Dana took on the workload of two people. She worked overtime to ensure the employees needs and the needs of the company were met, and always with a smile.

I had the pleasure of working with Dana Crites for three years at Spectrum Brands. She is a wonderful communications partner representing the Denison, TX plant. Dana’s constant positive attitude makes every conversation with her fun, and she never fails to put a smile on someone’s face. She is the absolute self-starter putting her employees first by voicing their concerns and finding creative ways to set up great events for them. It’s obvious she cares deeply for her associates, which makes her a great HR professional.
