Meet Autumn!
This month’s employee spotlight features Autumn, a Sales Administrator Assistant at PMG who joined the team less than one year ago.
Tell us a little bit about yourself
My family and I relocated to Minnesota 5 years ago from New York City. My husband was presented with an amazing job opportunity that was too good to pass up. We came here not knowing a soul. It was a big adjustment, but now I cannot imagine living anywhere else. We have two kids, ages 8 and 4 and a fur-baby who is also 4. I grew up in both New York and Florida. I worked in Advertising, specifically in Human Resources, for 10 years before moving here. I took a few years off to be a stay at home mom before re-entering the corporate workforce here at PMG.
How long have you worked at PMG?
Since April 2019, I started my full-time role just last week.
What are your main responsibilities?
To support the Lead Generation and Sales teams.
What do you like most about your job?
It feels really good to be back in the corporate world after a 5-year hiatus. Just being in a routine and having responsibilities other than my children has been really refreshing.
What do you like most about working for PMG?
Even though I am remote, I have been able to come into the office a few times and I really love everyone I have met. I have always worked for huge companies with over 500 people. It is really nice to work somewhere smaller that has a more family feel.
What are some hobbies you do in your free time?
I am a certified Nutrition Counselor, so I usually have several clients that I am working with in my spare time. I love to run and ride my bike outside when weather permits. I am also a big travel junkie.
Where is the best place you’ve traveled and why?
Italy. I’ve been twice, once in my early 20s and just this past March with the whole family. The culture of Italy is like nothing I have ever experienced. The people are so present and low-key. When we were there in March, we took our kids to a big park in Milan. There were easily 50 families there and not a SINGLE parent or child had a cellphone on them. It blew me away. Same for people at restaurants, not a single phone in sight. Everyone takes their time and just enjoys being with one another. Oh and of course, the food is the best too!
What did you want to be when growing up?
News Reporter/weather woman, I have no idea why or when that even changed, ha!
You’re happiest when…
…I’m relaxing with my family.
What advice would you give to a recent new hire at PMG?
Don’t be intimidated by all the manufacturing lingo, most people who work here did not have a manufacturing background. It really overwhelmed me when I first started.
What animal describes the “work you”?
Well this is a first! I guess I’d have to say a duck, ha! Ducks fly together for the good of the group and I strongly believe in team work and collaboration.
