Carol Colaizzi
Transportation and Inventory Control Data Manager
What brand(s) do you work for? Camping World What other teams do you work with the most? Dealership Accountant's and Controllers, Inventory Analysts, Transport and Logistics group, Real Estate and Development What is your favorite thing about your job and why? Knowing each day that my processes are being done for reasons that keep the company marching forward. Inventory and Transportation Data Integrity is so important and it's a thrill to solve and resolve issues that, down the road, could cause headaches for others. It's wonderful being able to find and correct mistakes before they become problems, especially possible bank audit issues and outside auditor issues as well as possible mismanagement of units being transported by contracted carriers. What made you interested in working in the outdoor recreation industry? At the time, this job sounded promising in my field and this industry was making great strides and going strong. I love to camp, so that made it even more appealing and (wishful thinking) less stressful than my current job in the medical device production world. How has Camping World Holdings helped you succeed as a woman in the workplace? How is this different than other companies you have worked at? Camping World makes me want to be a better role model to my peers. Passion and work ethic is inherent but kudos to Camping World for being that company that makes me want to be a part of the experience and great reputation that CW has created. Other companies I have worked for have rewarded people and recognized personal contributions, but I would have to say that it's really about your management team. I have worked for a couple of companies in the past where management didn't care about any of their people no matter how hard you worked and that is never a good environment to be in. Camping World has a healthy work environment!! What advice would you offer other women who are interested in a career at a Camping World Holdings brand? Go for it!!! CW recognizes and rewards those who are hard-working, determined, and passionate about a job well done!!
