Candidates

Carol has been a part of the CAES program for 25 of her 48 year working career.  Several Career Consultants and other CASS staff have had the pleasure of experiencing her vibrant personality, incredible work ethic and candid opinions and approach to life!

Carol and her Career Consultant for the last 3 1/2 years, Jasmine, immediately bonded over their mutual love of chips and Carol’s displeasure with certain American politicians.

Jasmine has been supporting Carol at Save On Foods with navigating schedule changes, staff turnover and most recently, with Carol deciding to retire.  On December 31^st, after 5 years at Save On and 48 years of employment, Carol has decided to journey into retirement.  CAES and CASS helped Carol celebrate this huge accomplishment this month by hosting a retirement party for her and although she will be greatly missed, we wish her all the best in this new phase of her life!

Congratulations, Carol!!

“So this morning, Devan is on the plant floor by himself dumping bins and has another employee running the shredder. I happened to look at the cameras and see the bobcat running in the dump room and realized that it is Devan driving the bobcat! I am so impressed with this guy! He was very hesitant to drive either the bobcat or the forklift, but Gage spent some time with him showing him how it’s done. He is now pretty much running the whole show on the plant floor – doing what needs to be done without any supervision. He is by far one of the best hires I ever made!” – Nikki King, Former Plant Manager, Iron Mountain Secure Shred.
