Transport Coordinator, Inventory Analyst

What brand(s) do you work for? Camping World, Good Sam What other teams do you work with the most? Aside from working with the Inventory team, I regularly work with the RV Sales team and Market Managers. What is your favorite thing about your job and why? I love that I am constantly learning new things, growing professionally, and getting opportunities to experience things you wouldn't be able to outside of Camping World. I've been able to visit different dealerships, travel to RV shows, work on acquisitions, and travel to the manufacturing plants. All of the people I work with are great as well. Everyone is always willing to help each other out. What made you interested in working in the outdoor recreation industry? I didn't know much about the industry prior to working at Camping World, so I saw it as an opportunity to learn and challenge myself. 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? I definitely think my success at the company stems from the leaders. My direct managers have given me different opportunities that have pushed me out of my comfort zone at times but have ultimately helped me grow. They also trust in my work and my abilities, and that has given me more confidence in the workplace. There are also many strong and hardworking female leaders at Camping World to look up to, which is motivating as a young professional. What advice would you offer other women who are interested in a career at a Camping World Holdings brand? My advice would be to work hard and be adaptive. As the company grows, things will change. I think being able to adapt to those changes can help you succeed.

What brand(s) do you work for? Camping World What other teams do you work with the most? I mainly work with several different teams on a daily basis. I'm constantly touching base with the written content team so that we can align our efforts to be as impactful and efficient as possible with our delivery of content. This allows us to not only optimize SEO but also have great digital content with both written and video elements. I also work hand-in-hand with the motion design team to make sure our visions mesh from the start to the end of many projects. During large shows or events, I work with the social media team to create short-form social teaser videos for multiple platforms. Occasionally, I work with the retail team to create content that benefits the great retail product selection we offer at our locations nationwide. What is your favorite thing about your job and why? The people I work with. I know this seems like such a small thing in the grand scheme of a career, and don't get me wrong, there are a TON of things I love about my job, like the amazing growth we've had and opportunities that come with it and how I get to do something new every day. But if I had to narrow it down to one specific thing, it's the culture of our team and the amazing people I truly consider friends that I get to work with. Not only are the people on my team incredible, but I also get SOOO excited to see people from some of the other digital marketing teams that I haven't seen in a few months or maybe even a year. And my favorite part is that I'm not alone. So many of us feel this way and it warms my heart. It's how I know I'm working at a great organization with truly amazing and talented people. What is the most rewarding project you have worked on here and why? I would have to say the original Ultimate RV Show. This show had some of the most challenging and fun days I've ever experienced in any career. We were able to overcome an incredible amount of obstacles and create something that had never been done in this industry before. We didn't know it at the time, but that week changed not only how we would conduct future business at Camping World, but showed the industry what COULD be done with the right talent in place. It set an industry standard for what a virtual RV show could be, and all the while, brought each and every one of us in attendance that much closer to each other as we all bonded through adversity and success together. What charity/cause/activity is most important to you and why? The activity that is most important to me is spending time with my family. One of the great aspects of working for Camping World is the generous PTO time we're given. It allows me to not only spend the Holidays with my family but also allows me to be there for my kids. I get to see my son's football games and my younger daughter's gymnastics practices and swim lessons. Many companies preach about having a good work/life balance, but few offer the programs to match. Camping World truly puts their employees first. What advice would you give to someone applying to a job at Camping World? Camping World is an incredible place to work, where employees are put first and our CEO is a reality TV star. We have an outstanding culture with hard-working, dedicated, and caring employees. However, if I were to give one piece of advice, it would simply be this... be the authentic you. Trust, friendship, and giving are at the core of our nature. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, and if those are the people you want to be surrounded by, then I strongly encourage you to apply and during the interview process, just relax...and be you.

Social Media Creative Manager

What brand(s) do you work for? Good Sam What other teams do you work with the most? I work very closely with the Engagement and Influencer Management within my current social media team. Outside of social, I work closely with the Design team in order to maintain visual brand consistency across all platforms. What is your favorite thing about your job and why? When I first started working on the Good Sam brand, I was amazed at the amount of creative freedom I was given by my team. It's something I had always desired in previous positions at other companies but felt like I was being held back a bit. It's so relieving to have trust, open communication, and collaboration within my current team and makes me that more excited to get to work at Camping World every day with authentic and invested individuals! What made you interested in working in the outdoor recreation industry? I lived in Denver for 2.5 years before moving to Chicago. I absolutely loved my time there, but realized I had taken advantage of the incredible geographic location once I moved back to the MidWest and no longer had mountains at my doorstep. In my personal opinion, moments shared outdoors soothe the soul and that's a feeling I'll continue to long for, and wish to help others experience, through this brand! 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? Right off the bat, Camping World proved to have exceptional diversity working within the brands. My previous company was primarily dominated by men, and as a woman in that workplace, I, unfortunately, felt like I didn't have much of a say. Now I get to work with both men and women who build me up, and although all are successful, the women around me, in particular, are incredibly driven and inspiring. It's an amazing feeling to see multiple women who have previously succeeded and continue to succeed within this company because they paved the way for other women like me to do the same. What advice would you offer other women who are interested in a career at a Camping World Holdings brand? Got for it! Hopefully, these pages will prove to you that regardless of your gender, anyone and everyone can succeed here if you put your mind to it and are invested. There are thousands of women at Camping World who are living proof of that!

What brand(s) do you work for? Camping World What is your favorite thing about your job and why? Being able to assist customers overall, regardless of the need whether it is retail parts and/or service repairs, but both allow you to be a part of the customers experience(s) and create memories with their families! The customer interaction is different each and every time, which is complete satisfaction as a human being! I enjoy being able to learn something new daily, no matter if it is big or small! What made you interested in working in the outdoor recreation industry? Honestly, I never thought that a “temporary” job would turn into a career that I absolutely love!! 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? In the almost 10 years of working for Camping World, I have never been treated differently because I am a woman! I thought I would have been at times, but haven’t yet! I have always been treated the same, no different! Other companies have actually told me, I was not qualified for a position because I was a woman! What advice would you offer other women who are interested in a career at a Camping World Holdings brand? My advice would be to pursue any career that you desire! Even if you may not “know” everything, there are some great mentors working with this company and I wouldn’t be where I am today, without them!! Tell me a fact most people don't know about you. Fun Facts: Most people know that I am a mother of 2, but do not know that I am also a grandmother, well a “Mimi”. I have a grandson that can make you smile, under any situation! The pure joy this child brings to the world, will be life changing, as he gets older! ?? Additionally, my daughter is 19 yrs old and we both absolutely love going to concerts, even if it requires traveling, it’s just what we do together! I could not imagine not having my daughter as my best friend, but also a reminder that you only live once so live your best life! So if I am not at work, I am most likely getting into something new, with my grandson, OR with my daughter, seeking the next adventure for the best concerts, music, & amazing performers! Lastly, how could I NOT mention my “other” child, which is my son! We get to spend time together, more than we want sometimes, but he grew to love the RV industry as well and also works for the company! It is nice to see and watch him have the same passion as I do, which ultimately is to serve our customers!
