Camping WorldWhat other teams do you work with the most?
The RV Inventory Team works very closely with Field Operations to ensure proper flow of product into locations, communicate pricing & initiatives, and to make sure everyone is on the same page regarding the product mix/offering of the individual location. We also work very closely with Digital Marketing to make sure any new products or floorplans are getting reviewed/promoted according to the largest vision of the company.
What is your favorite thing about your job and why?
Throughout my career, I've always been allowed to wear many hats and encouraged to find creative new ways to make existing processes/programs better, or even to replace them altogether, if necessary. We get to be both inward-facing, working with our internal teams here at Camping World, and outward-facing, working with manufacturers, shipping companies, and even the occasional customer.
What is the most rewarding project you have worked on here and why?
Over the years, there are a number of projects that I'm proud to have worked on with a great team of people, from the first creation of our company-wide pricing model to the Used Valuation Team, and most recently, the building/planning of our private label pontoon boat, the Nepallo!
What charity/cause/activity is most important to you and why?
I have a soft spot for kids in need, whether they are hungry (Feed My Starving Children) or if they found themselves sick (Make-a-Wish or Care Camps).
What advice would you give to someone applying to a job at Camping World?
If you have a great attitude, a willingness to learn, and are looking for a company you can work hard and have fun with, then Camping World is the best choice there is. We have an amazing group of people that are always open to answering questions, mentoring individuals who are seeking growth, and at the same time, are always looking for individuals with experience who we can learn from.
