I love working at winco for a wide variety of reasons, and wanted to share those today. First, I am feeding America. I am part of a team of 20,000 people who are dedicated to providing the lowest cost goods possible for our fellow citizens. We are constantly looking for ways to decrease our prices and make sure that things are affordable for the people in our community. It is really amazing to be a part of a team that is so focused on affordability and the community. I love people and want to help as many people as I can, and I see working at winco as one of the main ways I am helping people through their life. Second, it is an ESOP. That means that every employee at winco is earning ownership in the company for the time they spend working their. I am surrounded by people with ownership in the results that we create through doing our jobs well. I can give myself a raise by helping the company do better year after year after year, and while the stock appreciates, so does the amount of ownership I have in it. Third, it is an active job. I am not sitting behind a computer doing mundane tasks, I am out on the sales floor. I am setting up displays and stocking shelves and making sure the product is in the right place for our clients to find. I get to help clients find items and answer questions for them so they can have an easier experience in our store. Fourth, It is a team atmosphere. Everyone there is working together to make it a better experience for each other and our clients. It has the feel of a team working towards a common goal. I love my job at winco and am excited to keep learning and growing within the organization. My recommendation to you is to find a job you love and commit to it. Focus on doing it well and growing within the organization. I am an entrepreneur at heart, but entrepreneurship is not the only path to success. That's why I look at myself as an intrapreneur at Winco. It already has an extremely solid foundation and is what I have modeled my estate after. Instead of starting from scratch, I am starting from where they are already at. Where this all goes, I have no idea. I feel blessed to have found a home that I am passionate about though. That is what I want for my kids, a career that they are passionate about and can be excited for, and that is what I want for you. If you don't have that yet, don't give up the search and don't give up hope of it becoming a reality. I know that times are hard out there, but it is worth it.

Reflections: Passion Fuels the Path

WinCo's blend of ownership and service reminds me that passion in work multiplies impact—it's my model for AHC, where time builds equity.
