The company I work for is very small, and so even as the Operations Manager you’ll often find me at one of our client’s locations, troubleshooting, filling in for someone out of the office, or training new employees. For a while, my job required learning a position as I worked it, creating new systems and policies, and developing relationships with the people this position would regularly interact with. That’s where Nick comes in. When I met Nick, he was working at the PCC in Columbia City, which is one of the Coop locations my company serves, and I was working on trying to figure out the responsibilities of a position I was going to hire someone into and train. I explained to Nick why I was there, what my plan was, etc, and Nick introduced me to other people in the store, talked to me about back stock locations, and got me in contact with the store director so I could make a minor change to their system that would save my people a few hours a month in labor. He took time out of his day to explain how their invoicing works, to help me better understand the best way for us to interact with the vendors at each location. Over the course of several years, I got to see Nick interact with other associates at PCC, other vendors, management staff, corporate staff, customers, and of course, the multiple associates I’ve trained. He consistently made my life, the lives of my staff, and the lives of those around him at work, better/easier. Nick ended up working at the PCC location in Burien prior to its opening, and I worked with him there, too. I was working on developing a better standard model for the new PCC locations being built, and so I was often there during the building construction, and interacted with Nick checking in vendors/product as well as occasional conversation during down time between us. When the new Ballard location opened up, I got to work with him there as well. In these more relaxed interactions, there were all kinds of opportunities for red flags to pop up- they often do, when you don’t have to worry about customers being around. Yet to this day I can still say he’s never done or said anything that would have given me any cause for concern about his demeanor. While I can’t speak about Nick as a former employer, what I can say is that I had many, many interactions with him over the years, and there’s a reason why all of my staff were interested in hiring him when we found out he was looking for work. I encourage you to pick him up, for if my experience is anything to go off of, he'll be a terrific asset. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, and thank you for your time. All the best, Bryan Clark
