Tulsa **Spot Light** Employee - Matt C!

How did you first learn about Imperial? Employee referral

 

What do you find the most challenging at Imperial? Pushing the boundaries of what our technology makes possible.

What drew you to Imperial originally? And how has Imperial changed since? I’m the kind of person that needs to stay busy and that’s never a challenge at Imperial. Imperial has changed in almost every way imaginable. When I started on route we used pencil and paper to hand count what each machine needed.

What is the favorite part about working for Imperial? In many ways the one constant at Imperial is the change and that’s what I like most. Always working for a better tomorrow and it keeps things fresh.

What is your proudest moment at Imperial? Representing Imperial and the work we’ve done with Lightspeed to create the Level software program at NAMA 2017.

Are you messy or organized? Can’t I be both?

Do you have a favorite quote? “I do not want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.” – William Monahan

Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us? I spent 12 years singing in a church choir.

What did you want to be growing up? I wanted to be an Astronaut but in High School I developed a terrible habit for Mt. Dew and Dunkin’ Stix so I decided I might be better suited for delivering delicious refreshments to the general public.

Where is your home town? I was born and raised a Tulsan.

WCS - Tulsa Team!

Lance,

I wanted to reach out to you and say thank you for all you and your team
have done for our facility here in Tulsa in just a short amount of time.
From our first meeting here in our facility, when you brought Frank over, I
knew we had made the right choice for a business partner.  But nothing
could have prepared me for how incredible you and the team you lead truly
are.  Elaine, Kelly, Kenny, Harold, Julie and Robin have all been amazing
to interact with, each one of them is a true ambassador of your company.
Everything has been met with a "can do" attitude and a smile to be doing it
for us, my team and I could learn a great deal from each of them.  You have
made customer service an art form, and Warren CAT is fortunate to be a part
of your client list. You have much to be proud of as each member of your
company represents the brand you are building.

I would also like to extend a special thank to Ben for stepping in for
Julie at the last minute for Kiosk training, and to Kelly for jumping in
head first to get our West Tulsa facility taken care of when Blue Sky
pulled out of there without notice.  If there is ever anything myself or
Warren CAT can do for you, please do not hesitate to ask.  Good luck in
Amarillo next week, I am sure your team members there are excited!

Mike Holt

Just wanted to recognize John Steele and his install team for their efforts in providing Warren CAT Power Systems with vending equipment on just a day's notice last week.

 

Blue Sky pulled their vending and coffee equipment at this location without notifying them, and Warren CAT was very appreciative of us helping them out on such short notice.

 

World Class Service!

Jeff,

I was onsite this morning when your team was moving the snack vendor. I was very impressed with their professionalism, curtesy, and caution not to damage anything. Michael with Oklahoma City Community College was also pleased with the customer service they provided.

Thanks,

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for adding so many healthy options! The salads are great, we love all the fruits and veggies, and the parfaits are awesome. Please please please don't stop stocking the machine with these awesome options. I eat lunch exclusively from that machine and i'm loving it. Can I request more of those veggie cups with the hard boiled egg? Those are AWESOME! Thanks for reading and have a great weekend. :)

 

Great Job Jeff Ekman!

Subject: Rusty Spice & DeWayne Fain

Hi Ken,

This is Wendy Vang at Oseco. I just thought that I should let you know that Rusty Spice and DeWayne Fain has been doing a great job for us. We’ve been trying to figure out the best time to get everything ready for the kitchen nook upstairs of our 3^rd building since we weren’t sure when we would have employees upstairs. I called DeWayne the beginning of last week and said they’ve moved people upstairs. We would need to get the kitchen nook up and running and stocked for the employees. DeWayne was not scheduled to come out yet, but he made it fit his schedule to come out on Friday during lunch to stock up the kitchen nook.  

I did a last minute call to see if Rusty could come out to get the coffee pot and got everything hooked up since I didn’t know who would handle that. Rusty answered my phone call and when I told him our situation he was out here on Friday to get it done.

I just wanted to let you know you have two very dedicated employees that took care of us when we needed it.

Thank you,

Wendy Vang Human Resource Generalist

WCS - Great Job Catering!

Hi Elaine,

I hope you had a wonderful vacation! The catering was a huge success! Everyone I have spoken with thought the food was great and Amy and Chris really knew what they were doing. It was great to meet them. I received the invoice this morning and will process it immediately. I cannot wait until I can call on you and the whole Imperial Catering Team again.

Take care~

Thank you,

I want to thank you for all you did today. I have got a lot of great feedback from employees on how they appreciated the gesture from Imperial and how sweet you were.

I want to thank you from my job stand point for the outstanding service you provide, all of your vendors that come in are always clean cut and nice to everyone, and especially April that lady is one of the nicest people you will ever have the pleasure of meeting.
