Loving My WinCo Career: Why Finding a Job You Love Changes Everything
Grok Input:
I love working at winco. It is such a fulfilling job. I love that I get to help customers all day when they need it. I get to manage the sales floor and make sure things are in stock and positioned correctly. I get to organize all our holiday candies and supplies throughout the year. I work with a lot of incredible people and we have fun all day long. I am on my feet all day, walking around and getting stuff done. I am not behind a computer which makes me happy. It is a very active career and I am loving every bit of it! Today I am thinking about how important it is to have a job you love because you will spend a majority of your life doing that job. If you haven't found that career yet that makes you excited and that you enjoy, keep looking. Don't look for something solely because of the pay, look for something that will fill your heart with joy and then make the pay work with your lifestyle. I am not trying to say that pay is unimportant, because it is, but it is not the only thing that is important when it comes to finding a career. Look at the long term opportunity and benefits of the company as well. Can you move up? Do you want to move up? What does the company do to provide for you long term? Do they do a 401k? Are they employee owned? Do they have profit sharing? Is there a chance to improve your station in life based on the amount of time you spend working there? What do they do for health benefits? There are so many different things that companies do that can get overlooked when you are thinking about a career and instead people just focus on the pay. The pay is only a small portion of what makes a company worth working for. The work itself should be fulfilling to you as an individual. If it is not, you can either change where you work or change your attitude around what you do there. I want to encourage everyone to find a career you love, because most of your life will be spent working, so you might as well enjoy the heck out of it! I know I am loving my career, and I hope that everyone else loves theirs as well. It makes life so much easier when you love what you do! If you are looking for a new career, I want to invite you to join our team of owners at Winco. We are always hiring for different roles across our stores, and you can see the job openings on our website at the careers page. Come love life with me, and together we are going to increase the value of our company through hard work and serving our communities!
