Des voix authentiques
J’aime apprendre en permanence. Il y a toujours quelque chose qui se passe. C’est vraiment un travail passionnant.
Eberto Guerra Associé chargé des stocks chez NAPA
Je travaille chez Motion depuis que j’ai 23 ans. À l’époque, je me trouvais à un croisement dans ma vie professionnelle : je devais choisir une carrière. Un emploi de gestionnaire d’entrepôt s’est alors ouvert et j’ai postulé deux fois avant d’être embauché. Je ne savais pas du tout ce que je faisais, mais j’étais déterminé à apprendre et à progresser avec Motion. J’ai profité de toutes les possibilités de formation qui s’offraient à moi chez Motion, aussi bien des classes que des cours en ligne. Je n’ai rien de spécial et n’importe quelle personne déterminée et désireuse de RÉUSSIR peut et pourra toujours y parvenir, car Motion met à disposition toutes les ressources nécessaires au succès. À chacun, peu importe le poste qu’il occupe, de décider de tirer parti de ces ressources et d’avancer. Je remercie énormément Motion pour toutes les possibilités qui m’ont été offertes de réussir dans ma carrière et de prendre soin de ma famille.
Evan Fleming Gestionnaire de succursale chez Motion
C’est la 10e année que je travaille pour GPC et je suis encore extrêmement dynamique et enthousiaste à l’idée de ce qui m’attend. GPC a joué un rôle très important dans ma croissance sur les plans personnel et professionnel et je suis très reconnaissante de pouvoir travailler pour une si chouette organisation.

C’est chouette de travailler pour une société qui ne considère pas ses employés comme de simples numéros et dans laquelle vous appartenez à une équipe qui comprend l’importance d’être le meilleur et récompense l’attention portée aux employés. En tant que dirigeants, mes gestionnaires et moi alimentons chaque jour la culture de notre district et de nos magasins. Je suis très fier de ce que nous avons accompli jusqu’à présent et continuerons à accomplir ici, à Austin, au Texas.
Tim Wilks Gestionnaire de district chez NAPA
Si je devais donner des conseils à ceux qui cherchent à postuler ici, je leur dirais d’adopter une forte éthique de travail, de faire preuve de détermination et d’être ouverts à apprendre n’importe quoi. Nous apprécions les gens qui font preuve d’initiative et s’efforcent d’apprendre.
