POSITIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT
I love the people at Watson Gloves! Everyone has been so kind and helpful since I started and it really feels like a big supportive team and family. I feel genuinely excited to go to work each day!
Many people have long careers here at Watson Gloves, such as myself. Working closely with a lot of my coworkers and seeing them develop into who they are now is a great thing to see.
Many of us have been working together for a long time. We’ve seen each other grow up and built a lot of strong relationships, just like a family.
I love being out and about going around different areas and seeing our customers. I’ve gotten to know many customers over the years and build great relationships with them.
I get to work with people every day that care about me as a human being, and me to them. The relationships are real and authentic. That’s why I’m here.
I love the autonomy. I’ve been performing the job that I love to the best of my ability every day. I also love the people. Everybody gets along well with each other and we’re all here for each other.
It’s all about the culture. When family is a strong focus at our company, it runs down through all the teams.
